Restoring WINXP to different hardware (with PlusPack) - right sequence ?

Thread needs solution

Hello,
I've purchased one license of TI Home 2012 + PlusPack.

I have just built my new PC (now AMD instead of Intel, new mainboard etc.).

I have two 500GB drives as removable boot drives (one Win7 Pro 64-bit for office work, the other WinXP Home 32-bit for playtime).

I've done a backup of my Win7 boot drive and restored it with the universal restore (using a bootable CD I created under Win7 - because when I ran TIH und Win7, it gave an error and aborted) and that worked fine.

I tried the same with the WinXP drive, but keep getting a BSOD when Windows XP tries to boot.

Now the question is:

Do I have to created a bootable CD from within WinXP in order for the universal restore to work ? And if so, can I - given the license agreement - install TIH+PlusPack on the WinXP boot drive to do so ?

Or am I missing some steps due to my lack of understanding ?

Cheers,
Andreas

You don't need to create a bootable CD from within XP. The bootbale CD is created independently of the OS and of the computer.
Other users have had issues with multi boot system and universal restore.

I don't know of an easy way to fix that except trying to reinstall XP on top of the restored image.

What is the BSOD number and error text? For the number just the first cluster is useful for example 0x0000007b

Sorry ... took a while to take a look at the BSOD ...

here is what it says:

*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xB82A8756, 0xB84C342C, 0xB84C3128)

It doesn't say anything specific ... and - to be honest - I have no clue as to what those hex-codes mean ...

I've just noticed you've changed processors from an Intel based to AMD

The 0x0000007E (0xC0000005) part can be caused by an OEM or SOE type windows installation when an AMD CPU is used when the original installation was an Intel CPU.

(OEM= Original Equipment Manaufacturer (HP, Dell, Lenovo etc) SOE= Standard Operating Environment - if the OS was installed by a company with a corporate IT department).

Are you able to boot into SAFE mode and do you have an XP install CD to hand?

Microsoft instructions:

Restart your computer in safe mode.

Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

Locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Intelppm

In the right pane, right-click the Start entry, and then click Modify.

In the Value data box, type 4, and then click OK.

Exit Registry Editor.

Restart your computer.

OR

Insert the Windows XP startup disk in the floppy disk drive. Or, insert the Windows XP CD in the CD drive. Then, restart the computer.

Note If you are prompted, click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD drive.

When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
If you have a dual-boot computer or a multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.

When you are prompted, type the administrator password.

Note Press ENTER if the administrator password is blank.

At the Recovery Console command prompt, type the following command,

disable intelppm

and then press the ENTER button:

To exit the Recovery Console and to restart the computer, type exit at the Recovery Console command prompt, and then press the ENTER button.

***edited to make the instructions more clear****


THANK YOU Colin ...

I was able to boot in safe mode (incl. a rather large-fonted windows :-) ) and change the value through regedit.

That did it ... it's now booting and working (it is complaining about some unknown hardware, but that's not bothering me right now).

That was a great help !

Cheers,
Andreas
