I'm not sure what's going on here, I'm assuming this is an issue with me trying to use this from Windows 10. Here's the error I'm getting:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

Not sure if you can make heads or tails of that, C, but if anyone else can, please feel free to let me know.

I tried doing it within 7 and running it in Vista mode worked. We're off to the races, boys!

The OCF motto (or it should be)

"The unpaid and underappreciated, have done so much with so little for so long, that they are now qualified to do practically anything with almost nothing.
The improbable requires a two hour lead time.
The impossible by appointment only."
 
It's too soon to celebrate, my friends.

We've got a new issue afoot. When my computer restarts to boot into PE and complete the setup, it blue screens. What's weird though, is it's not a whole blue screen. It's just the stop error. 0x0000001E, which I'm Googling right now. Fear not, I'll return with hopefully good news.
 
I've at least discovered the full extent of the error, and I quote:

"KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. This error occurs, most commonly, because of driver issues."

So there's likely either something wrong with the drivers I put in (unlikely, because I tested the image before on a virtual machine and coincidentally got this same mini-BSoD), or my hardware is so far removed from Vista's era, that there's simply no way for Vista run on it. My guess is I'd have to slipstream everything for my system (chipset drivers, SATA drivers, etc) into the ISO to get it to boot. I'm not sure on that though, nor am I sure I want the headache...

It's late. I'll dig around a little longer and maybe post one final update for y'all before I turn in for the night. Tomorrow will hopefully see a resolution to this, whether it be giving up or finally succeeding.
 
I'm not sure what's going on here but if you are doing a fresh install, you need to do so on a machine from which e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g has been disconnected.
No cards, no peripherals, just bare minimum CPU and one stick of ram... Nothing connected. Then when you finish initial OS install, you start adding hardware.
 
The R3 1200 doesn't have an iGPU, so I have to at least have the 1050Ti plugged in. I'm gonna make a bootable USB (currently using Daemon Tools to mount the ISO and start install from within Windows) and try running it before I go to bed.
 
Your screenshot suggests that you were already installing from within Windows, maybe try from bootable media after taking all cards out other than video.
 
I know I'm late but you could have used a PS2 keyboard to install Vista and 7 then install the USB 3.0 drivers, as for video drivers, goto EVGA and download the drivers, they have the 32bit and 64 bit drivers for Vista.

My motherboard doesn't actually have PS/2 or USB2. They're emulated through the USB3 controller, and since the controller isn't being activated due to lack of drivers, they don't work.
 
Your specs show usb 2.0 as well as 3.0 and 3.1(5 Gbps). Where did you read it was emulated from 3.0?

I dont understand why it would have to do that considering there are (6) usb 2.0 ports native to the b350 chipset...
 
Fellow tech buddy said it was being emulated through the 3.0 controller, and I believed him, because my 2.0 ports weren't working before I slipstreamed the 3.0 drivers in.

On a Vista note, I created a bootable USB with the files I edited in vLite, but still no mouse and keyboard in Vista setup. I'm not sure why, it says it slipstreamed the drivers in successfully. Will report back when I figure something out.

It's the host controller driver that likely isn't going to work in Vista, AFIK AMD only had drivers available for Win7, Vista is not the same.

As hinky as USB 3.0 is, that sounds like a bad set up for a motherboard. Pretty sure that news takes Asrock off my to do list.

The whole platform is like that, so is Intel when trying to install Win7 you still need the right xHCI drivers
 
So its not emulation, just the driver stack for all of usb due to how it works on amd.. i think i got you. :)

So I can't use windows 7 drivers for Vista after all, eh? Well, that certainly throws a wrench in things...is there any way I could find a general driver for the host controller from the manufacturer? Like how Realtek makes a majority of ethernet and audio chipsets, is there somebody that would be likely to be a main manufacturer of xHCI host controllers?
