GtiJason Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Just wanted to share a few simple things I found while testing XP on Apex XI over the paste couple? days. Kinda all a blur, but exciting times. For anyone wondering you can do the Text>GUI (iso on ram) install using PCI to USB 2.0/3.0 (NEC) card so you can have extra files available right away The original files (USB ROOT) from Asus Impact VIII days (firahelper.ima.gz/firahelper64.ima.gz/grldr/menu.lst) work fine In RMPrepUSB I used "Fat32" and ticked the "Boot as HDD (C: 2PTNS)" box next to it Probably most important note was having to enable CSM (Compatiblity Support Module) in bios for "Legacy Boot" so USB stick would work as bootable. My usb sticks would not boot on APEX XI untill i switch uefi boot to 2nd option Here is pic from 1st boot while using pci to usb card 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireKillerGR Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) By the way - turbov 1.01.15 seems to be working fine but it keeps bclock on reboot. Havent tried 1.01.14 that should fix this issue. Edited November 9, 2019 by FireKillerGR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you should be able to get the SSD and boot on z390. I took my Z390 Dark Win XP and replaced acpi.sys and syssetup.dll and it gave blue screen 7B with M11A. Seems like reinstallation is required. Edit: My bad, Z390 Dark uses Asmedia SATA while Apex only has Intel SATA. Z390 Dark OS modded with Z390 ASUS files makes XP work on X299 Dark Edited November 9, 2019 by aerotracks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the instructions it tells to load "hive system". However there is no such "hive" file to be found in the folder, so that's where it falls apart for me Loaded the "system" with no hive, but that doesn't look like the registry from the 2nd drive Edited November 9, 2019 by aerotracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, as I am trying to switch a working Z390 Dark XP to a Z390 Asus XP, I have not modded any .cab files. Tried changing .cab file first to start with clean install but 7zip gives an error. No more 7B bluescreen, this error message is next, unfortunately this file is not part of the AHCI driver. This is not my day, going from one dead end to another dead end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not my day, going from one dead end to another dead end Don't give up it will work but even for a clean iso it progress litle step by little step,as you can see on win-raid it wasn't easy to have it working on the Gene. Not sure 7zip is able to create cab,only extract I think.You need to use specific software for cab or a script via cmd. STORAHCI.sys is in the archive shared by GTIJason fiew post ago,you need to put it in System32\drivers with STORPORT.sys too.After that I think you'll be able to boot in Safe Mode,if yes install STORAHCI via .ini file and execute the reg file,if I remember well normal boot will be ok after that ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it has to either be done using Win 10 on 2nd rig since it fails when using the files copied from PCI E to USB 2.0 card to C drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
