Boot 32bit Windows XP from 64bit UEFI

Open GeorgeK1ng opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Hi, I'm trying to find out, how to boot 32bit XP from 64bit UEFI environment. Currently there is no chance how to do it?

I have project XP2ESD that allow deploying Windows XP in same way as newer Windows from install.wim / install.esd. I can boot my Windows 8.0 based installer installer under x64 UEFI. Then is created FAT32 boot partition and system one. I can boot into Quibble, but it's not possible to launch system. I have added NTFS driver from https://efi.akeo.ie/.

When I'm trying to load Windows XP 32bit - boot process fails image

When I'm trying to load Windows XP 64bit - it hangs on isapnp.dll. I checked file header and it seems correctly as x64 PE image

I have checked your To-Do list and seems you have these things here. Booting 32-bit Windows on 64-bit machine & Add NTFS driver

Do you have news about these two things? It would be great to have working solution for booting Windows XP under UEFI.

I can privately share my testing ISO to reproduce Windows XP x64 isapnp.dll error.
