Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen!

Another alternative is to acquire a more up to date CD with the updates
already incorporated in the CD (I think it may only need SP1). A
different hard drive is another. Your F6 point is new to me so just keep
the information flow going <G>. The OP is spoilt for choice! Which do
you think is the best solution? Slipstreaming or your F6 solution?

The F6 solution wasn't my idea, it was suggest by others, I suggested
that he slipstream SP2 in his installation disk. I don't think that
this is a SATA issue, I think that this is caused by newer PCIe hardware
that the original Windows XP setup doesn't know how to properly handle.
Apparently the OP doesn't want to go the SP2 route so I don't have
much else to add to help resolve the problem. A case of the proverbial
horse being led to water... he'll drink when he is thirsty enough!

Intel has this to say about this pci.sys installation error:

If you are installing Windows XP on an Intel® Desktop Board that
includes PCI Express* support, you must use Windows XP with Service Pack
2, otherwise you may see the following blue screen error during
installation:

***stop 0x0000007E ( oxc 0000005, oxf9a380bf, oxf9e84208, oxf9e834208,
0xe9e83f08
*** PCI.SYS address f9a380bf base at f9a31000, date stamp 3b7d8ssc

If you do not have an installation CD that includes Service Pack 2, you
can create a ‘slipstream’ CD.

Ah yes a vigorous discussion containing much research and even fewer
solutions. I attempted the XP w/SP2 disk which also failed in the same
fashion but with a different bluescreen message. I think it said "surrender,
all your base are belong to us" whatever than infers.

My next trick is to install a floppy drive equipped with the SATA drivers.
Then I would expect F6 to function properly. HOWEVER, the drivers Intel
Matrix Storage Manager of Intel G965 Express Chipset, located at
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-022768.htm are in .exe form. I
am now trying to find them in their native format in order for Windows setup
to use them.

What a colossal waste of time and a I say "a plague upon yee Hewlett
Packard" for having not a single idea or resource to solve this via chat
support.

Hopefully, you'll have stumbled over this already. The second item listed on the
Intel download site is what you're looking for.

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/fil...XP+Professional&lang=eng&strOSs=44&submit=Go!

Quoting from that page,

"Creates floppy disk for 32-bit OS with Intel® Matrix Storage Manager 8.2.0.1001
files - used to preinstall RAID driver (F6 during Windows* setup)."

Which will take you here,

Geez! Not even in Vista? What dark recess of some Pakistani cave were
the poor Vista Setup programmers stuck in when floppies essentially
became obsolete, how many years ago was it?

I suppose you can't even load them onto the HD, either? Makes the
whole F6 procedure pretty much worthless.

Yup, Vista and damned near everything else out of MS in the last five
years just proves what I said earlier. They oughta fire everyone from
middle-management up to the CEO.

Damn Gary... You have a real hate for vista eh?

 

[Gary S. Terhune]

I have some strong opinions, yes. That doesn't mean I hate it, or even
consider it a bad OS overall. I have some pet peeves, "Filter" (aka Search)
being at the top, with networking wizards not far behind. But my strongest
emotion regarding Vista is that it isn't even close to being what the
designers originally set out to produce. That original concept would have
meant a very different OS, from the guts out. Instead, they hung a bunch of
stuff on a version of XP that they, I agree, significantly improved and made
more stable, more self-healing, and more intelligent and unbudging when it
comes to applications installations.

But I'd have no problem using it as my base machine, and in fact I'd
probably prefer it. It's just that for the moment, my rather huge XP system
(relative to most people's), is running well, applications are settled in
and behaving, and it's just not convenient to convert to Vista as my main
system right now. I've just been using it and digging into its guts in order
gain the knowledge I need to support others who use it. Which, of course,
will help me immensely when it does come time to switch.
