Hi,
I wanted to install XP(SP1) on the new hardware recommended by cics. Later I wanted to install SP2 and SP3. But I am unable to install xp. During windows installation it stops with a critical error and discontinues the installation. If I repeat the procedure, it stops at the same point. Is there a workaround known or is it impossible to install xp(sp1) on that new harware? I donīt have xp(sp2)

Well, I seem to have run into your issue. Very strange. This new hardware has really kicked my ass. One the 3rd build I was trying to install some drivers and it said I needed to be an admin...there is only one account and it IS and admin account.
On my 4th build now, and I kept having windows install issues. BSOD that was something like IRQl not equal to or less than.
So I research that and it could be alot of things from hardware (memory) to drivers, to os. Try a bunch of stuff and after 5 attempts of it stopping in the same place I make an sp2 slipstream disk, and viola it works.
So the only thing I can think of to explain why I COULD do an sp 1 install for 3 times but not for 4 is that on the last attempt I reset to default bios settings. The first 3 attempts had the cmp2 bios settings so maybe some disabled components made it work with sp1.
Lessen learned I suppose.

Hey Sigi,
I can be lazy and while I know about slipstreaming this is an area where it just seems easier to load sp1 and then 2...by the time I make a slipstream disk I can have a windows install almost done.
So YES I have successfully loaded xp sp1 twice on the new hardware and then put in the sp2 disk.
No problems that I can tell.
Now I DO have issues. This hardware sucks for me. For some reason the Lynx card that I have had for years just isnt happy on this platform. FOr instance, with the 45mm hardware I could easily upsample to 192k with no pops no crackles, no drama at a buffer of 32.
On the new builds (both of them) I can upsample to 192 but any kind of cursor movement causes pops and clicks even at a buffer of 256. I have tried everything I can think of and also what cics has mentioned, but still have the issue.
The new hardware though is awesome at undervolting and underclocking. I was able to get it very low on the first try with no bios drama. That is a huge plus.
OH, and I dont recall any BSODs on the old hardware, but have had several on the new stuff....

hey Sigi,
Iīve just experienced the same thing.
there seems to be a problem with certain power supplies and new gigabyte mainboards.
first I thought it was my new SSD, but putting a different PSU onto the system cleared the problem.
the installation switches off the system without a warning at the "remains 34min" point when windows is installing hardware drivers....
just strange, but not unknown if you google it....
kind regards

is it impossible to install xp(sp1) on that new hardware?Whether it's impossible, I can't say but it's inadvisable. SP1 is over eight years old now and issues with new hardware have been reported from time to time. SPs 2 and 3 are readily available on the MS web site; the link below describes how to "slipstream" them with a vanilla or SP1 XP installation disc. IMO, well worth the effort - at least you can eliminate SP level as possible cause.
Also, after a recent report of a similar issue on (I think) the cMP thread, someone provided detailed notes on a workround that I meant to copy and keep but forgot. It'd worth looking out for them if the above doesn't help.

Thank you very much for the link Ryelands!
I made a slypstreaming of XP(SP1) with SP3 and burned a CD according to that link and now XP installs perfectly. Thank you very much for the hint
Regards
Sigi
