no difference.įor fun, tried booting from the XP Pro install CD and after loading most/all of the software it blue screens.

#Bitlocker reader for windows xp windows#

With a known good XP Pro HDD installed, it goes through the BIOS, windows starts and then goes back to the ROG logo screen. Will be installing W10 pro as soon as I can get a response on my bitlocker issue.

My M8F is running OpenSuse just fine at the default settings. Wondering if there is something about the ROG BIOS/skylake/Z170 chipset that would prevent this from working. This is the first time I have ever installed an XP HDD in a new mobo and had problems.

#Bitlocker reader for windows xp upgrade#

if I can upgrade my current half dozen XP Pro systems to new hw it will make the inevitable upgrade to W10 a lot easier. As I said, I'm obviously not buying high end ROG hardware to run a legacy OS on, but. Hoping I can get some knowledgable thoughts on this. I built the XP machine I am typing this on ten years ago and I have had almost zero problems with it.

doesn't take much to break it and I've already had to rebuild the laptop twice. And so far I've been very impressed with the Formula mobo. Currently using a garden variety USB wireless adapter. So far it seems to be running fine on my mobo although I am unable to get the ASUS built-in wifi to work. Since I have this thread open, wondering if anyone is running Linux. I was quite surprised when it didn't just boot right up. My question is really about whether there is something about ROG/skylake/Z170 that *PREVENTS* XP Pro from running. Upgrading to ROG mobos will make the inevitable move to Win10 a lo less painless.

If I can upgrade the hardware to breathe a little new life into those old boxes I'd love to do so. However, since there is no ability to migrate XP to Win10 I plan to keep running XP on my 'production' machies for as long as possible. I have no plans to run XP on this mobo other than for testing purposes. I appreciate the response and I'd certainly agree with your comment. G4400 CPU, 16Gb g.skill 3200 RAM, BIOS:2202Īdvice, tips, comments will be most appreciated. My 'system' is currently in a very bare, breadboard stage. I realize that XP is well past end of life but if I can migrate these old XP HDDs to new ROG mobos that would be great. I was planning on upgrading the hardware to ROG to speed them up some but continue to run XP Pro for a while longer. I have several legacy XP machines that I still use in 'production' mode. Is there something about this new stuff that would prevent XP Pro from running? This is my first ROG build and my first syklake build.

None of the choices worked including safe mode, no networking. Tried to boot with a known good XP Pro HDD and got as far as the failed boot screen. Plan to install Win10 Pro once I get the bitlocker issues figured out.Īs a standard practice I usually pop on a HDD with Win XP Pro for test purposes and this almost always works (of course the OS needs to be re-verified). Currently running OpenSuSe on it for test purposes.
