ou812 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I used nLite and setup stops as "Setup is Starting Windows."A family members harddrive crashed. They used to have an IDE PATA drive but I can't seem to get one so I went with a SATA drive since the board has connections. They were running on Windows XP Home edition. Well, i found out I need to use nLite to add the drivers(s) so the SATA drive can be found and XP loaded.Everything goes well and then it stops at the "Windows Setup" window (blue screen) and at the bottom the caption says "Setup i starting Windows." From there nothing happens.Is there a step I'm missing? Or am I just screwed?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Is there a step I'm missing? Or am I just screwed?Strange, but if I were you I would forget nlite direct integration of the single SATA driver (not that it is not good) and integrate instead the driverspack:http://driverpacks.net/http://driverpacks.net/docs/beginners-guide-windows-xpYou want to have Base+Chipset+MassStorage (all the other ones are optional and should not matter for booting/installing).jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogway Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Forget about the chipset drivers, they are known to mangle some windows settings and device configurations. link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Why would you say that. Do you have some PROOF of that? Besides the Topic linked to was about an "altered" source, not so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogway Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) I am the proof because it happened to me. Upon further search I could confirm it was a bug, just google for it, although clearly people on msfn doesn't seem aware of this.edit: your PROOF. It took me 1 sec. bother yourself a bit.

Ponch Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 the caption says "Setup i starting Windows." From there nothing happens.Please attach (not paste) your "Last session.ini". I think some users reported that after changing the HAL from "automatic" to something else in the Unattended section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me 1 sec. bother yourself a bit.It proves nothing. Try this one instead"DMA tab" disappeared chipset drivers integratedEight (MASSIVE) hits. Your google was WAY too generic. Now try THIS one -"DMA tab" disappeared "chipset drivers"Never heard of using "quotes" to narrow the search (SIX monstrous hits)?Hilariously, THIS may be what you "believe" to be true (your google) -http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/52162-32-advanced-turnAnother of the exact same reference -http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=998414...and ANOTHER with the SAME mentioned!http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=1110076Seems the "tab" was moved to be "controlled" by the IAA. Additionally, the BIOS apparently has to be set to ACPI -AND- you have to have the CORRECT "HAL" installed. (Is that what happen to YOU?)So you have no other "proof"? Just a "generic" google, correct? "I would never lie. I willfully participated in a campaign of misinformation."- Fox Mulder - X-FilesNow, let's get back on topic...

RJARRRPCGP Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) setup stops as "Setup is Starting Windows."Everything goes well and then it stops at the "Windows Setup" window (blue screen) and at the bottom the caption says "Setup i starting Windows." From there nothing happens.That's an old bug that IIRC only occurs with GeForce 2 (maybe GeForce 1 too) video cards. It's also possible that it only occurs with the Via KT133 chipset. This bug was the SNAFU of the GeForce 2 and Via KT133 combo.Back in 2002, I had to remove my GeForce 2 MX 200 and pop my Voodoo 3 3000 back in to install XP on my Via KT133-based motherboard.

KapnJackSparrow Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 hopefully I am not being rudeyou have made sure to set the computer to use AHCI in the BIOS before trying to install the operating system right?if the thing is set to compatibility and AHCI is installed it will case a blue screen.

jaclaz Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The OP isn't coming back - one single post...Yep , the point being if OP didn't come back because he/she is ungrateful BUT the proposed solution worked (and thus all subsequent posts are superfluous ) or if he/she didn't come back because by following the given suggestion his/her PC took fire or exploded .jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
