Hi all,
I have an Amilo Pi 2550 (Fujitsu Siemens) that I would like to install Windows XP on (so I can run an old program), but can't find any way to do this.
HDD has been completely formatted, even the factory default recovery partition. I tried to install Win XP via USB (rufus and WinToUsb) but the key is not recognized, cannot boot with it. (An operating system wasn't found...)
(By the way the DVD player is dead.)
I set a correct boot order in the bios, tried the different USB ports. It seems that this is due to the impossibility of configuring UEFI in the bios (v1.12), there is only few settings in the bios.
I tried also brutal method consisting of placing the HDD on another notebook, installing it on this pc (with the Sata drivers) and then replacing it in the original pc. In vain, (apparently) because of the missing HDD drivers. When it loads Windows it displays a BSOD: STOP 0x0000007 (0xF78A2A94, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).
Then, I thought of creating a partition with the installation files of Windows XP but with XP it looks particularly complicated given the lack of boot.wim file for XP ...
Is there a simpler way?
Would there be a way to unlock the bios to inactivate the legacy?
Thank you in advance!
