dual boot VISTA/XP on AMILO Xi2528-P5410  Topic is solved

Postby roby1846 » Thu Dec 20, 2007 2:18 pm

Hello,
I have an AMILO xi 2528-P5410 that is pre-loaded with vista home premium. I have just 3 recovery CD I make after VISTA install.

I want to dual boot with xp and I tried all methods, specially method 2 on this topic
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=111960.

Nothing works, the install XP Pro or XP home doesn't recognise any hard disks.

Is there anyone who works with XP on this PC ?
If yes what drivers are used (DP Massstorage on method 2 doesn't works) ?


Help me please.

Thank's

Hi

I solved my problem like this :
- method 2 on this topic with slipstreaming 4 driverpacks (DP CPU, DP CPU, DP Masstorage and DP WLAN)
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=111960
- DOWNLOAD the first File on this LINK (SiI3531 - PCI Express (1x) to 1Port SATA300
http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=80&cid=3&ctid=2&osid=4&
- UNZIP and extract it on the floppy disk with file "textsetup.oem"
- run the PC with floppy disk connected on USB port and CD XP in drive CD
- press any key to start boot on CD when asked et don't press any other key before starting install XP.

And now for me WIN XP works.
