    Can't install XP on new Crosshair V Formula

    Hey guys,

    I got my shiny new Crosshair V Formula 990FX board today and spent hours trying to install XP Professional 32bit to no avail. Everytime it got to the "loading windows" stage, I would get a BSOD. Same story if I tried to boot into my already installed XP installed, instant BSOD.

    I managed to install W7 x64 without any issues, however would really like to get XP running on this board. Has anyone managed to get this going, and is there anything special I need to do? I'm assuming there's some sort of compatability issue with XP and the EFI 'bios', but that's just a guess.

    Thanks in advance for anyone who can shed any light on the situation.

    AHCI or IDE Mode? I don't have the board, just a guess. Try in IDE mode.

    Yeah, that was the first thing I checked out, but I still got the BSOD issue.

    Thanks for the reply mate

    I have had some recent boards that just dont work with XP as far as I can tell. Everything I tried I still got a BSOD when windows XP loads. I just moved up to Windows 7. There are some games I miss that dont work with Windows 7, but overall I dont mind the change.
    Rig 1:
    ASUS P8Z77-V
    Intel i5 3570K @ 4.75GHz
    16GB of Team Xtreme DDR-2666 RAM (11-13-13-35-2T)
    Nvidia GTX 670 4GB SLI

    Rig 2:
    Asus Sabertooth 990FX
    AMD FX-8350 @ 5.6GHz
    16GB of Mushkin DDR-1866 RAM (8-9-8-26-1T)
    AMD 6950 with 6970 bios flash

    Yamakasi Catleap 2B overclocked to 120Hz refresh rate

    I have clients that purchase new Windows 7 machines either through me or Dell/HP then have me perform a dual boot installation of Windows 7 and Windows XP 32bit. The reason for this is most of my clients access systems will not work with anything other than WinXP (because the system manufacturer does not have drivers for Win7).

    I sell and recommend Intel processors only to my clients so I go to Intel's website and download the latest RAID/AHCI drivers for that chipset for WinXP and put them on a thumb driver. I then slipstream them into the WinXP installation with nLite to a USB thumb drive. I then install WinXP with the thumb drive instead of a CD (only so I don't constantly burn cds) and WinXP installs fine with the proper AHCI drivers. If I don't do the above steps and just try to install WinXP I get the same BSOD problem you are referring to. I haven't installed an OS from anything other than a USB flash drive in some time but you can also slipstream the drivers into the XP installation with nLite and burn to CD/DVD if you wish.

    I am not an AMD guy but would assume you need storage controller/chipset drivers for installation of WinXP just like I do on an Intel platform.

    Why only Intel? Intel biased?
    Athlon II made great business machines...

    Anyway, I believe either the above poster is correct. I needed to nLite my XP install to install it with my RAID array...

    Windows xp does not support uefi based boards. Only the old tried and true BIOS. This is most likely your problem. See post above regarding installing xp from within a Win 7 install. That may work, never tried it myself.

    Well not really biased, I messed with an Athlon back in the P4 days but always been Intel ever since. I would say 90% of my clients only want Intel machines (they don't give a reason, thats just their demand). With the price/performance of Sandy Bridge I don't see any reason to look anywhere else anyway at this time.

    The OP has said that he tried setting in the bios to IDE mode, so his problem should not be RAID/AHCI related.

    However, maybe the bios setting isnt being applied or some form of IDE emulation is being made via the RAID/AHCI driver



    Saying this, the OP has nothing to lose by trying your suggestion, they can at least rule out it being a RAID/AHCI issue....

    Continuing from the above comment, rather than it being XP does not support uefi based boards, could it be more an issue of uefi based boards not supporting IDE correctly?

    I am saying this based on the following assumptions, Windows 7 is installed and using AHCI drivers, when an install of XP is done via Windows 7, the relevant XP AHCI drivers are downloaded via the Windows XP install GUI while it does its 'checking for updates' process.

    IF these assumptions are correct, it would seem that deachus suggestion is the solution.

    Hopefully the OP will try!

    i experienced this with my mive, but figured out it was because i had it set to ahci.

    I assume the xp is for benching?
    I can share one of the xp os i have.(it's really really stripped.. so not much is going to work except 2d and cpuz lol) you can nlite it and add what you want though

    it installed fine on my mive, and i think it should be fine on yours too.. pm me if you'd like it

    Not entirely sure, I have not tried installing XP on a UEFI bios based board myself. Though I did do some research into the concept. I wanted to build a WHS on the old (non-Vail) version of WHS, which is based on the same windows as XP (Win 2003 server). The only version of windows at that time that supports UEFI bios was 64-bit Win 2003 server (or 64-bit XP) -- or so I read. WHS is 32 bit.

    So I gave up trying to do that and went to a good old fashioned BIOS board to build the WHS.

    That is not to say one cannot find a work around, but I have not looked into work arounds specifically.

    Usually this sort of prob effects some oem systems, came across one myself.
    And usually it's the raid controller.
    It's the irq mapping, conflicting.

    If it's not that then it's probably something to do with acpi and the memory map.

    How to fix it, hard to say really...
    I would try the raid 1st, disable it, then try messing with the irq map.
