You will then have to wait a couple of minutes while Setup loads a bunch of files. I chose the second and largest partition and left the recovery partition intact to be safe just in case my installation went wrong. Go back and check to make sure everything is correct! After XP formats your partition and copies over the files, the computer should restart.
Don't select boot from CD this time and the XP installation should automatically begin. After the installation is done, the computer will reboot again. If you've done everything correctly, then Windows XP should load - most likely in a really bad screen resolution. Don't worry just yet! This will be fixed once the graphics drivers are installed. There is a recommended order to install this, but honestly, I just installed everything by alphabetical order and it worked just fine for me although I left the Sony Utilities install last.
Extract the xp Install the Sony Utilities. Go ahead and set up the fingerprint reader if you want. It worked perfectly for me, though the 5. I don't use the PassBank though, so it's not an issue for me. If you find that you can connect just fine on your WLAN, then you don't need to follow step four. It seems that every time I installed it, my wireless card would become disabled. Extract and run "setup. Then after a few seconds, start your computer up again. At this point, WLAN should be working properly.
At idle, I have about 36 processes running. You could probably prune it down by uninstalling some utilities, but I find most of the Sony utilities useful. I do not expect that to be too difficult, however I hope. Many thanks for your response; sorry that I did not get a chance to post this information and save you the trouble of posting but only got the partition and system up and running a little while ago and have not yet even started the other installs I need to do on same.
Glad to hear you have this working now as i have the same issue, could i ask what drivers did Intel point you towards? When extracted, the drivers and I included all modules extracted, not just.
Thank you for the link. I had seen it while researching the whole installation, although I ultimately went about the slipstreaming a bit differently, using a folder with both SATA AHCI drivers and ethernet NIC drivers specifically for the hardware in question.
My only remaining issue now is to find a way to bring up a valid dual boot menu. I had WinXP functioning in its partition but cannot access it now as my laptop choked on the VisaBootPRO dual boot menu installation process and will either boot into Vista or emit an error message. I am going to have to research that for a bit, and perhaps find a different tool to enable the dual-boot process. Once I restore the original state via Acronis True Image the installation itself will be pretty cut-and-dried, as I have done it several times by now.
Note that for some reason when booting WinXP via the menu created above I must choose WinXP twice on 2 separate menus, although when booting Vista I need only choose once. This is a minor glitch which I hope to track down and fix shortly, as I remember seeing a post about that problem somewhere on the net. When I established the menu, I found that choosing WinXP to boot to would not work - I kept getting a message about missing or corrupted boot files.
I then found this posting:. COM 2 gave links to copy the last two and 3 gave instructions as to the necessary contents of boot. None of the three files are needed by Vista, hence their absence; they are, however, needed for Windows XP to boot successfully. I would not be surprised if other issues cropped up from time to time but the basic dual boot seems to be accomplished. But After installation when it went to reboot , after boot it showed another BSD and immidiately rebooted.
So I dunno what exactly was failed. Now I cant run Vista neither HP. Sorry to hear of your difficulty. If you cannot boot into your system I suspect that your only choice is to go back to factory settings and proceed from there.
I realize that this will seem like locking the barn door after the horse has been stolen, but in order to avoid your quandry I have adhered to two unwavering procedures, and I recommend the first one unquestionably and some version of the 2nd as well:. The way to do this in Vista:. Advanced tab displayed. You will thus have access to Startup and Recovery options; in the System Failure section, uncheck "Automatically Restart".
This is the first thing I do when setting up a new machine or re-installing the OS. If you are to see the text error messages on the BSD it is mandatory. Using an Acronis recovery CD and Acronis recovery archives created via regular backups means that I can recover from a catastrophic error such as the one you describe by inserting the CD, choosing partition restoration and pointing to the right recovery archive, usually on an external hard drive or 2nd hard drive within the machine if there is one.
This is not a commercial plug; I do not work for Acronis nor do I derive any benefit from recommending them. I am sorry to hear of the difficulty you have encountered; I wish I could think of another recovery method but if you cannot boot into your system I cannot see how you could do otherwise than to go back to square one. Hallo ,. So far I have not succeeded! Not even with de HP helpdesk. I still get the bleu screen with the white words, after the drivers are copied from the install-cd I had burned with nlite.
Nevertheless I hope that anyone can help me. You will find detailed instructions about how to succeed within the first post of this thread. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy! Already have an account? Sign in here.
