Re: how to install xp on ibook g4
short answer: no. XP requires an x86 processor
long answer: yes. Using linux, and installing a virtual copy of XP ontop of that
or virtual PC 7 on OSXLast edited by Uranium-235; 06-14-2013, 09:58 PM.Cap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

Re: how to install xp on ibook g4
This has to be a joke.
Microsift dropped powerpc support after nt 4 and only supported nt 4.
Even with linux ppc support is hit and miss. No flash support to speak of (unless gnash or lightspark ever started working).
If wou want to xp a mactop, you'd need a macbook or macbook pro, which are intel based.sigpic

Re: how to install xp on ibook g4
Windows runs only on x86 processors. x86 is an architecture, a type of processors.
The Mac is using a PowerPC processor, which is based on another architecture, so Windows can't run on it.
To make it easier for you to understand, it's like Windows being a tire. You can install it on various types cars (the x86 architecture) but you can't install it on a truck (Power PC) even though both cars and trucks have wheels.
Now... you can install Linux on it, think of Linux like a tire that can stretch a lot and can adapt to various types of vehicles. It just works on various architectures.
From there, you could run a Linux software that simulates a computer that could run Windows.
The problem is that computer you have is already old, slow, with little memory. The software creating a virtual computer uses processor and memory and will be slow. Inside the virtual computer, Windows will be even slower. it would probably run as if your computer is a 486 or Pentium mmx, very very slow.
It's not worth it. Not even mentioning programs because it's pointless.Comment

In a Beelink GTR mini PC, mine has an Intel AX200NGW WLAN module.
Tried (only with keyboard/mouse connected):- BIOS + database update
- Using latest Windows 11 image built with official image creation tool
- Previous setup version for Windows 11 installer
- Replacing SSD without a slow block (the previous SSD had a slow block with access time > 500 mS)
- TPM reset (worked to the point where DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error message is displayed briefly after the point of stalling)
- Disabling power to WLAN and LAN modules in BIOS (Advanced > AMD PBS > PCI Express Configuration)

Hi All.
Sorry ahead of time for the text wall. This is a strange problem and I have tried to explain it as best I can. I realise this is a hardware forum (mostly), but I am still not sure if this is even a hardware fault! I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable than me in the area of understanding installation logs, or someone that has had a similar issue in the past may have some ideas of what might be causing this.
The issue:
Unable to do a clean install of any macOS versions supported for this model, even after fully erasing and formatting the internal SSD,...
