Problems Installing Windows XP on IB9

[Jquigley]

Hello, i have been having a hell of a time trying to install windows xp onto my IB9 motherboard, and SATA HD.

I start by booting from the windows disc, then it starts to prepare for the install, and i get a blue screen error half way through. This had happend one time before i reformated this HD, the very first time i bought it, we had to use an old floppy drive to put some drivers on. Well it seems that this time its just not working the same, or im having problems finding the drivers, or maybe im just doing this all wrong. Please help!

.......... or im having problems finding the drivers.....

WIN XP should not cause any problem on IB9, if you have a disk @least with Service Pack 2, better is using a slipstreamed Version with Service Pack 3 as well included the ITE 8211 driver for IDE support (if you are running XP setup with old IDE optical devices), no more additional driver is necessary

it doesen´t matter if you use 3.5" drive or USB stick to serve the board with ITE 8211 driver (~ 55 kb)



that ITE 8211 drivers bundle (W2K/XPx86/x64/W2K3) should be available on ABIT site ~ 182 kb



the only blue screen I´ve got on Abit IB9 in the past was during setup WIN 7 x64 RC2, after disabled EIST in Bios as well it was running without any problem (despite WIN 7 x64 & x86 early beta that blue screen is not existing)

that IB9 is running since Jan/2009 very well with E6400/ 2x2GB DDR2 800, HD200HJ SATA, very old IDE Toshiba DVD, BIOS: N° 15

I will upload you the content of drivers of a 3.5" floppy created with original Abit driver CD-Rom if you like

no more additional driver is necessary
