I've been wanting to put Xp on another drive thinking that it would fly on this PC. Its a four core AMD VISION with eight gigs of RAM. Well Xp Home will not install on this thing. It says it will cause damage to the PC. This sucks! Next I up was VISTA. That was a failure too. My VISTA is and upgrade not a full version. Since there is no working copy of Xp on the drive that I was using it also failed to install. Now I'm right back on windows Seven Home Premium. Rat Dude please fix the caps in the title of this post.

Make sure you have the SATA controller in IDE mode. that should take care of that.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: Older OS NEwer PC
If you get a BSOD with text saying that it shut down to prevent damage, that's just generic BSOD text and if it has error code 0x0000007B, it means missing or wrong/bad AHCI driver.Originally posted by Junk Parts View Post
XP don't have AHCI support out of the box unlike Vista and higher!
Thus, you must install XP in PATA-emulation mode, which in the BIOS, is often known as "IDE".Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 03-26-2014, 10:37 AM.ASRock B550 PG Velocita

Re: Older OS NEwer PC
Thanks Guys. I'll try that another day. Today I'm going to try a "Coldie" or two and see if they still make me sick. Chemo and/or the Cancer screwed up my beer drinking for sure. Maybe I should just smoke pot. I will not be doing that because I don't even like the stuff and I think that it is still illegal here unless you have a Doctors card for it.

Re: Older OS NEwer PC
There might be AHCI drivers for XP from HP or AMD. You will need to find a floppy drive or make a Windows installation CD containing the drivers.
Also, Windows 7 won't like having the SATA controller switched to IDE mode. I think you can remove the SATA controller drivers before switching to IDE mode and Windows will install generic drivers after rebooting. Of course, reinstalling Windows will also fix it.Comment

If it's an AMD Vision, then it's an APU (Socket FM1/2). VIA and nVidia don't make chipsets for those.

Re: Older OS Newer PC
Win Seven has nothing to do with this. The Win 7 OS is on my main drive which is not hooked up while I'm doing this Xp thing. I have another drive for the Xp. Its a Seagate Barracuda, 7200rpm, 80 Gbytes, Sata drive. Dang I'm a mess this morning. I didn't go out for a beer because of this
headache I've had for days. I took a dose of fiorinal with codeine to kill off my baby migraine. It worked but now I feel toasted.

Re: Older OS Newer PC
I seem to recall a way around the upgrade thing on Vista... something along the lines of installing it in demo mode (without putting a key in) then reinstalling with the same media as an "upgrade" and using the upgrade key.
