DP35DP with SATA and Win XP

[Farmerbrown2200]

Hi,

Is anyone in here using this combo? I'm going through some kind of hell over here!
I can't get XP sp1 to install on this system. It crashes the install very early with a "stop error " (blue screen of death).

I'm working on "slipstreaming" SP2 into a copy of XPsp1 (from a valid disc).

Any other ideas would be welcome.

Try screwing with the SATA settings in the BIOS... I have a similar MB, and I have to set to IDE mode instead of AHCI.

Hey Justin,

THanks for the quick reply. I just went through that this afternoon. I tried every bios "Drive Config." including IDE and AHCI. I even reset ATA/IDE to legacy, all to no effect. The install hardly gets going and it gives the error message.

I know the hardware is ok as I had Vista installed and working on the same machine.
I still have that install on another drive and I'm doing this to a fresh Caviar Blue (Western Digital) drive but can't get past the first minute of the install.

Sorry, no other ideas here!

I have 4 computers with this combo. If you had searched the Intel site you would have found the problem.

You are on the correct path. You need to create, or purchase a copy of XP with at least SP2. There's no other way. That's it...

Thanks Bruce,

Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, I have read Intel's boards and did find the reference to OS compatibility" and that is why I'm trying to learn about "slipstreaming" as I'm not going to go buy another version of XP when I own a legit copy already. It just happens to be XP home SP1! I wasn't convinced this is the problem until now.

At least I'm on the right path.

Do you know any easy way to "slipstream"?

It's not too difficult. You just need either Nero, Plex Tools or something that will make an .ISO image.

Follow "Create Bootable CD"

or

Here's another link.

download "nlite", follow the instructions and implement the new SP3 if available. otherwise implement the sp2 you have. this tool lets you make a bootable cd at the end!

1 Nlite
2 download sata drivers from intel
3 download ryan vm sp3 pack from his site
4 slipstream both into xp pro sp1 disk

It's not that hard but you need to do some reading

1 nLite - Deployment Tool for the bootable Unattended Windows installation

2 http://downloadmirror.intel.com/1525....0.1007_PV.zip

3 RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP3 Update Pack

4 Integration of Intel's SATA AHCI and RAID drivers - MSFN Forums

Thanks much. This all worked and now, it's on to the real install and it's....


Another BSoD! Yes I checked intel but I don't really understand but I'm trying.

Its an IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL message that happens while Windows is "installing devices".

It could be an irq problem with the video card or a physical memory problem. Either way, this mobo has no "on board" video so I can't uninstall it to test. I took out all but one stick of ram and that made no difference.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
