Hi guys.

 

I am trying to build a usb stick to install xp with, on the extreme.

I followed the steps in the guide. And I am at the point where I am ready to fire up the usb and start loading the os into the ram.

 

But when I am selecting the first step of installing (install windows xp txt mode) it gives me an error. Error 15. It says file not found.

 

What am i doing wrong ?

I am hoping one of you is able to give me some pointers to sort this out.

 

Thanx in advance.

who wants to try run coffelake on the M8i you can try the following flash bios:  -->  Bios 3801 (Mod Coffeelake Microcode) Nb : Flash bios using CH314a flasher do not try flashing through bios

Maximus VIII Impact running with 9900K, should be no issue with 8700K/8086K. CPU Pad Mod I just made. 2 pins isolated as per attached image. Flashed with programmer. Bios - MAXIMUS

8350K working just fine on M8i with this BIOS.  Boots 4133C12 a lot faster than with any SKL or KBL chip I've tested.

did you make sure to label the iso exactly like in the guide XP or XP64, I also had trouble with a very stripped iso but most work great.

Thanks for your reply,

 

Yes.

 

I named it exactly as written in the guide. ( XP.iso )

Have tried several iso's. Stripped ones as well as a full one.

Even build a new one with nlited.

 

All gave me no joy.

 

Where shoul I look ?

In the direction of the iso or some other direction ?

did you actually label it XP.iso in the name or are you listing iso as the file extension. I know this sounds so dumb but at the beginning I accidentally named it xp.iso. I know it sounds silly but it could happen. Otherwise I am not exactly sure. Also some usb drives just don't work right, my 32gb microcenter usb 3.0 drive just doesn't work no matter what I try, new one works great

It is official!

I am that stupid.

 

Cheers, It is loading now.

 

Can I get you something, a beer or a soda ?

 

well hey if your stupid then I am right there with you, haha. I guess I was over thinking it at the time, I knew it was the file extension but was trying to be too perfect.

Thanks again guys.

 

I couldn't make a full install at the end.

I am not sure anymore what the problem was. I'll be taking a look later.

Went straight to bed last night.

 

And just got a gtx 580 matrix in the mail so i'll be testing that one first.

From my experience MEI error problem is solved after reset CMOS, if still error then just flash bios from EZ BIOS or USB Bios Flashback is better. But from my experience only reset cmos or pull 24 pin power for about 10s.

If you are getting a MEI warning when pushing B-die. Then that is pretty common. Just ignore it. Nothing's dead.

 

If the problem is something else, then maybe.
