Windows 2000 Professional on the X99 Platform


Recommended Posts

I tested Windows 2000 Professional with the following hardware:

  • ASRock X99 Extreme4 LGA 2011-v3 motherboard
  • Intel i7-5960x processor
  • G.SKILL F4-3000C15Q-16GRBB RAM

I took an earlier HFSLIP package from tomasz86, which includes Unofficial Update Rollup v11-w20130323, and used nLite to integrate blackwingcat’s custom chipset software and 8.9 AHCI driver, and to make the ISO, which I burned to CD using Nero 7.11.10.0c.

I ran Unofficial Update Rollup v11-d20141130 and .net frameworks 1-4 (11142014) from tomasz86, used BWC nVidia 353.06 drivers for the graphics card, and enabled PAE mode.

Here is a screenshot to demonstrate the first full-fledged test install:

I guess blackwingcat’s chipset software names at least 100 system devices (which is that many fewer yellow question marks in Device Manager).

I tried blackwingcat’s PRO2Kv2 and PRO2K v3 drivers for the LAN (it’s an Intel i218v, I think) by extracting the files and directing Device Manager to the extracts using Windows Update, but it can’t find a driver or says the OS is not supported, so I still need to figure that out, and maybe some other stuff.

I realize that most computerists would just assume that it's not possible to install Windows 2000 Professional on the X99 platform, and moreover, find it quite unfathomable that anyone would want to, but for the record it's actually really easy the second time.

Can you write down yellow question marks device Vendor id and device ID ?

And did you forget setting msiexec.exe XP compatible mode for other application for PRO2K driver ?

I think You can install lan driver from inf file directly.

Not there yet but a little closer, the red part is advice from pci-z 1.4:

ACPI\PNP103 Driver is here.

You should make localize to English. :")

ACPI0004 is CPU container . does your bios setting have "legacy ACPI table show" ?

And it is "ACPI Module Device Driver" I think maker provide it

I218-V... Will you show me its dependency for example the following?

Thanks for the information, I don't find any legacy ACPI settings, but it's hard to tell for certain because now when I enter my BIOS it freezes within 15 seconds.

Dependency Walker opened with "Errors were detected when processing" E1D5032.SYS (PRO2kv3):

Disconnect the power cable from the wall. Wait until any lighted LEDs turn off. Wait for one minute more.
Disconnect All SATA devices (SSD/HDD/CD/DVD/Blu-Ray).
Reconnect the power cable to the wall outlet, start the machine, then enter BIOS. Does it still freeze within 15 sec?

This morning the BIOS is no longer freezing, go figure.  Thanks for the reminder to completely disconnect first, because I still may need to clear and reset the system…

I got a “ntldr is missing” when I tried to start the other day, investigated and found that when I boot up with a USB stick installed, the BIOS in its wisdom resets the boot order to boot first from the USB sticks.

I hope to experiment a while longer first if I have to send it off for service, because I don’t have a backup board in place yet.

The affinity between Windows 2000 Professional and this motherboard was unexpected, and makes me wonder… It could be the platform (X99) or the brand (ASRock); this is my first experience with either.  So an ASRock Z-97 might make a good choice for W2k Pro. After installation, but before enabling PAE, my System Properties showed 1.5 GB of RAM.  Normally my installations show 3.65 GB RAM.  Is this because there is no video on this line of CPUs?  While 3.65 GB of memory is one thing, 1.5 GB definitely looks like a bottleneck here--no problem for W2k as PAE is reliable, but what about 32-bit XP?  Not so good. During early practice installs a few days ago, I decided to try a Windows 2000 Professional “Includes Service Pack 3” original OS disc, and was amazed to watch the installation proceed right through to the end in full ACPI Multiprocessor PC mode:

I downloaded ACPI\PNP103 Driver, localized to English and installed through Device Manager--it worked perfectly.  Thank you!  One less problem device listed now.

I investigated different ACPI settings in BIOS, but nothing de-lists the CPU container.  Copied IntelPPM driver to system32 drivers folder but when I ran intel4.reg I received “Cannot import…Error accessing the registry.”

Regarding the LAN, msiexec.exe was set.  Added “Option > Module Search Order ‘drivers’ folder” to Dependency Walker but results appear the same.  Tried various other drivers, but the “Connection (2) I218-V” (as BIOS identifies it) is still not working, no matter which driver I force.

Finding almost nothing in the way of ACPI drivers, and beggars can’t be choosy, I tried this NEC file:

            12q4_86_pcd_01.zip

downloaded from here:
https://www.driverdouble.com/drivers/nec-acpi-module-device.html

I un-zipped it and directed Device Manager to the first Unknown on the list, which it seemed to like; Windows asked for a reboot, then three successive reboots resulting in a little progress as these "unknowns" became System Devices listings in Device Manager:
