Hi,

I am trying to install windows Xp in dell inspiron 5559 with core i5 6200u but i can't, i take "death" screenn blue screen...:eek:
Can anyone help me to find the apropriate drivers for the cpu so to integrate in th copy of Xp and install them???

thank you in advance!
 
When does it BSODs?

Have you tried changing sata devices from AHCI to IDE, or the other way around?

Edit: in the Bios, sorry for forgetting to add this info...
 
thank you for your response,
when the system try to find the hdd to install from the copy XP..
no it hasn't ide..

do you know if I will integrate the drivers for the cpu for windows 7 x86 maybe the system see the hdd in the installation windows XP
or it's false???
 
Don't look at the open window: I got the picture from the internet. Check line 7:
"SATA operation": it will be either AHCI or IDE.
 
yes of cource you clear,
No it hasn't
It has ΑΗCI and Disabled ( = the SATA controlers are hidden )
 
i tried and it give me another error and also missed the dvd drive
 
You need a SATA driver at F6 on the XP install. Not gonna happen. There was never an XP driver made for that unit. W7 or newer is it.
 
New laptop drives are formatted as GPT on which you cannot install Windows XP.

You have to reformat to MBR.

You have to set Legacy Support to ENABLED.

You have to mess with the BIOS...

You have to integrate AHCI drivers into Windows XP installation media.


Certainly not impossible but very involved, it can't be a quick install.
I am about to install Windows XP on a brand new Asus Skylake desktop motherboard.
Will post about it on here in a week or two.

You can SELECT ALL all of the drivers there, press CTRL+A to SELECT ALL.
