When booting on other unknown machine, then XP will auto adjust itself in about 3 min and install the required drivers. Reboot from USB on other computers and Select Boot XP Image - XP-1.vhd - WinVBlock FILEDISK - to make Universal Reboot from USB on the same computer and Select Boot XP Image - XP-1.vhd - WinVBlock FILEDISKġ1. Run USB_XP_Fix.exe and Select your XP-1.vhd file on USB-drive and click GOġ0. BOOT_IMG.exe can be used to make Grub4dos Boot Menu on existing bootable drivesĩ. BOOT_USB.exe can be used to make USB-drive bootable with Grub4dos Menu. Reboot with other OS and copy XP-1.vhd to bootable USB-drive and create entry in Grub4dos menu.lst

Connect USB-HDD where you want to use XP Image, so that USB-HDD settings are known in XP registry, and RebootĨ. Set Screen Resolution to 1024 x 768 useful on all monitors (right click on Desktop)ħ.

Format XP-1.img inside XP Setup cannot be used, it results in corrupt messageĤ. XP-1.vhd has already NTFS compressed format, so you should NOT format at Setup, just keep settings Reboot and in Grub4dos menu select Start XP Setup on XP-1.vhd - WinVBlock driver Now I'm planning to use another old computer for W2000/(possibly XP too)/linux multiboot system, because an old game needs W2k, so if I can install W2k/XP straight to P2 and P2, using P1 only for grub4dos files, it would be less hassle.Īnother question: I don't necessarily need to clone W2k/XP images to logical partitions (that I did with W7/W8W10), but is it possible to boot W2k/XP from logical partitions so, that all the boot and system files are there too, at the same partition? The way it is possible to do with W7/W8/W10, aka generalizing BCD first before cloning it from primary, then respecializing it to the destination logical partition where the image is restored (without need for things like editing partition tables or other tricks, because correctly respecialized BCD is the key, at least for Vista and later OS's).ģ. I did it because at least at the time, I thought XP was impossible to install straight to P2 (so that all the boot and system files would be there at P2 too, for easy generalizing & imaging & restoring to other partitions). So I put the grub4dos files to the P1 with the original XP installation. However, when I once installed XP to an old computer, I put it to P1, generalized the BCD and used the image for cloning it to another partitions. I'm asking this, because the above is the way I have done my multiboot systems with W7/W8/W10 - using small P1 for grub4dos. The P1 would be hidden or possibly even partition ID changed to gnu hurd type or something, that W2k/XP don't recognize, if needed.

So I don't want to divide those boot and system files between P1 and P2 (being first and second primary), and I don't want to use the first primary. the second primary so, that when the first primary is hidden, all the boot and system files will be placed to the same partition (eg. Do I need to install Windows XP and/or Windows 2000 to the first primary partition, or is it possible to install it to eg.
