mehdibleu Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hello, I have Dell PC optiplex 745 which was originally bought with winxp preinstalled on it and I wish to reformat and reinstall windows XP. For that I downloaded the window XP SP3 Iso I encounter a small problem, when i boot with the usb device and reach the window partition, i create partition and when i launch the installation, i got this blue screen : i tried to install xp on this machine by disabing sata configuration or AHCI to IDE but havent found this option on the bios of the machine. so the only solution which remains is to find the sata disk controller drivers of the motherboard and it's impossible to find them ... If you could help me to find these sata drivers, i would be grateful PC config: -Windows XP Pro 32-bit -intel genuine CPU 1.60GHz -Disk hard drive: WDC WD400BD-75MRA3 (40Gb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR_ADHAM Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 You can try an ISO image with SATA drivers preloaded. Here's a one: Site: https://webforpc.comSharecode: /software/operating-systems/windows-xp-sp3-free-download-bootable-iso/ I have this one and installed it on my HP COMPAQ lap long time ago. Installation encountered no problems at all and worked very fine then. The link provided should be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehdibleu Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 @DR_ADHAM thank you for the reply. i suppose that every machine needs the right sata drivers which correspond to the disk controller of the motherboard so i need the right sata drivers for this dell model machine so does this iso include sata drivers of all dell model machines ?

Mine was neither OEM nor specific to COMPAQ brand, it's a modified ISO that includes all SATA drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogs Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I think these ISOs have some kind of generic driver which works with nearly all machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it's for a friend who has this machine and does not manage to install xo on this dell machine. i found some sata drivers found on the net but any of them works and he still does not manage to get xp installed on this machine. so i will give him this iso hopping that it's the one that includes the right sata to be able to install xp. thank you again for the iso, i will report back to tell you if the iso allowed to fix the issue.

WindowsAddict Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 @Mehdibleu Integrating SATA drivers in XP iso is not very difficult. Here are the steps, - Download Win xp sp3 iso in your language. Site: https://pastebin.com Sharecode: /raw/Hk2RgYzF - Extract this iso. - Goto this page and download SATA drivers for xp. Site: http://driverpacks.net Sharecode: /driverpacks/latest - Download this program, and extract it in a separate folder, Site: http://driverpacks.net Sharecode: /applications/driverpacks-base/10.06 - Now put the downloaded .7z driver file in, above extracted 'DriverPacks' folder, - open DPs_BASE.exe - follow onscreen instruction, and in 5 minutes it'll properly integrate the drivers. - Done. --------------------------------------------------------- You can learn more about slipstreaming at https://ryanvm.net/forum/index.php but if you want something readymade, although it's not a good practice, get a properly slipstreamed xp iso, ATM it seems good, Site: https://www.teamos-hkrg.com Sharecode: /index.php?threads/windows-xp-professional-vl-with-sp3-x86-english-august-2018.65048/#files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mehdibleu Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 @DR_ADHAM so i gave the iso que sent me to my friend but it didn't help, he still gets the same blue screen which appears once the iinstallation is launched. @WindowsAddict i managed to integrate the sata drivers in the iso with the procedure you described above and i wanted to test it on an old machine of mine whose xp cannot be installed without sata drivers and it worked perfectly, i created bootable usb device, it booted then detected automatically the sata drivers and i managed to install xp on the machine. i haven't sent the created xp iso with sata drivers to my friend yet but there is every reason to believe that xp will be installed successfully on his machine too. i will give him the iso soon and we'll see, i will report back to tell you if it is the case.
