Did you use the map --e820cycles=0 fix also in the Continue GUI-mode XP Setup entry in menu.lst

It will be probably needed there as well.

 

You can try in VHD_XP_Create to Select the Checkbox Load XP Setup ISO in RAM.

That might help to overcome the error. 

 

What is the Size of your XP Setup ISO file and did you check if it is fragmented ?

Did you prepare it according to Section 2 http://reboot.pro/to...hd/#entry172481

Certainly required is:

 
Use DPsBase.exe to Integrate DriverPacks Chipset + Processor + MassStorage + LAN + WLAN DriverPacks
which will then be located in OEM Folder in your XPSOURCE folder.
(settings Disc - Method 2 - GuiRunOnce - Enable KTD for the DriverPacks I will Select)
 

 

Don't add more DriverPacks like Graphics and Sound

517 MB

yes

create iso with same boot loader

The asm error indicates that virtual CD drive is not found in Continue GUI mode XP Setup.

It should be solved by loading XP setup ISO to RAM by using --mem option.

 

Strange that TXT-mode gives problem for that case.

You can try to use proposed Checkbox but remove --mem option in TXT mode afterwards.e.g. use something like

map /XP3_1307.iso (0xff)

 

DriverForge is not the problem.

 

Your XP Setup CD is rather small.

Did you use nLite  to reduce size. That might be the reason .....

Start with original XP3 Setup CD and add the 5 DriverPacks as described.

 

Make new XP Setup ISO file and copy it to root next to where XP-1.vhd will be created.

Remove old stuff and use VHD_XP_Create.exe again to make new XP-1.vhd and menu.lst entries.

Filename XP Setup ISO is too long and must be according to dos 8.3

 

So rename and use e.g. winxp1.iso

 

Try first to Install in 2000 MB VHD (use default setting 2 GB)

I think you need to have lines also just before rehook like this

map --e820cycles=0
map --rehook

After TXT-mode Setup we can inspect your XP-1.vhd

Boot with normal OS and use R-mouse to Mount XP-1.vhd in ImDisk Virtual drive.

Then in mounted XP-1-VHD drive go to Windows\system32 and copy file $winnt$.inf to your local Harddisk.

Double-click on $winnt$.inf and mask your ProductKey like ProductKey=xxxxx

 

Post your modified $winnt$.inf as attachment to this forum so that I can study on it ....

 

:cheers:

Try modified file $winnt$.inf

Mount XP-1.vhd and in $winnt$.inf Remove dospath=J:\

Save file and Unmount XP-1.vhd

Reboot from Grub4dos menu and try to Continue GUI mode XP Setup.

@Basel Sayeh

Do you read the file /winxpFirst.iso from a USB drive?
Try a internal hard disk.

Which hardware do you use? Which BIOS do you use?

The problem is that Virtual XP Setup CD in your case is not found in GUI mode of XP Setup.

 

To overcome your problem you can try a NEW modified way of Install XP in VHD.

 

0. If desired use first UFD_FORMAT.exe to make USB-Stick bootable with Grub4dos Menu and that can be used as Target Boot Drive
1. Then Use VHD_XP_Create.exe where XP Setup ISO file is NOT Selected in this case.
Select Target Drives and Grub4dos Boot Menu Checkbox and use GO 
to make XP-1.vhd on NTFS System Drive and to make NT Setup Grub4dos Boot Menu on Target Boot Drive.
2. Mount XP-1.vhd as ImDisk Virtual Drive - if needed use imdiskinst.exe to Install ImDisk driver

3. Use WinNTSetup v3.2 - click on XP tab - Right-click to Select XP Setup ISO file

Select as Boot Drive and as Installation Drive the ImDisk Virtual drive of mounted XP-1.vhd

Click Setup to prepare $WIN_NT$.~BT and $WIN_NT$.~LS folders in XP VHD

http://www.msfn.org/...winntsetup-v32/

4. Use menu.lst on Target Boot Drive which has following entry in Grub4dos Boot Menu

5. Take care that winvblock.ima is found next to XP-1.vhd

6. Reboot to Install XP in VHD  - Start TXT-mode and then reboot 2x with Grub4dos menu Boot Windows XP

 

title Start -  TXT-mode XP Setup on XP-1.vhd - WinVBlock driver - 2000 MB
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /XP-1.vhd
map --mem /winvblock.ima (fd1)
map --mem /winvblock.ima (fd0)
map /XP-1.vhd (hd0)
map --hook
root (hd0,0)
chainloader /ntldr
 
title Boot  Windows XP from Image - XP-1.vhd - WinVBlock driver - 2000 MB
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /XP-1.vhd
map /XP-1.vhd (hd0)
map --hook
root (hd0,0)
chainloader /ntldr

SATA or IDE HDD drive can be used as location for XP VHD file.

USB drive or HDD drive can be used for boot files e.g. booting with Grub4dos Boot Menu.

 

I have not tested yet using XP VHD located on USB HDD,

but that might be possible but requires to Integrate Wait4UFD driver in XP Setup Source

Direct Install of XP in VHD on USB requires to Integrate Wait4UFD driver in XP Setup Source

To overcome your problem you can try a NEW modified way of Install XP in VHD.

 

1. Use VHD_XP_Create.exe to make XP-1.vhd as usual with Grub4dos Boot Menu on Target Boot Drive

2. Mount XP-1.vhd as ImDisk Virtual Drive (ImDisk required !)

3. Use WinNTSetup v3.1 - click on XP tab - Right-click to Select XP Setup ISO file

Select as Boot Drive and as Installation Drive the ImDisk Virtual drive of mounted XP-1.vhd

Click Setup to prepare $WIN_NT$.~BT and $WIN_NT$.~LS folders in XP VHD

http://www.msfn.org/...winntsetup-v31/

4. Modify menu.lst on Target Boot Drive to make following entry in Grub4dos Boot Menu

5. Take care that winvblock.ima is found next to XP-1.vhd

6. Reboot to Install XP in VHD (3x boot with given Grub4dos menu entry)
