Hi,

You need to slipstream AMD Sata drivers with XP.

Have you tried this which are posted in part D of below guide?

SATA drivers for XP (solution on 0x0000007B BSOD)

[Shava_Oglenkz]

Yes, i've tried that method, but i got "bla...bla... 64 is corrupt", i think i've got a bad driver for SATA AHCI driver....

Can you send a link for SATA AHCI driver for CQ42 203AU....?

Dear Daniel n CherylG.... I've tried to slipstream SATA AHCI AMD to XP SP2... but it still failed. There writen "The file ahcix64.sys could not be found", and when i tried to insert both file in single driver mode (x64 and x86), it's still writen "The file ahcix64.sys could not be found".......

So i tried to choose multiple drivers, then i still failed and wrote there "The file ahcix64 is corrupted"....  

Can you help and explain it to me..?

thanks before it....

[CherylG]

Are you trying to install XP 64 or 32 bit? For 32 bit,use insert single driver and only add x86 driver.

[Shava_Oglenkz]

Yes, i have XP SP2 32 bit.... when i choose single driver, i choose x86.inf... and then, in txtmode driver, i confuse,... why there are 2 kind files like picture below....

so, then i choose x86 platform only, and after i use it to booting, there say "ahcix64.sys could not be found"....

then i rebuild iso file using same method but i choose both of them (x64 and x86), but i still got = "ahcix64.sys could not be found"....

help me to solve the problem please...

[Rakhmad]

The error of "ahcix64.sys could not be found" is generated due to a mix driver of 64bit and 32bit.

Start again from copying a fresh XP-SP2 installer to harddisk and slipstream amd sata driver, choose only 32bit driver.

The current XP has been contaminated with 64bit amd driver.

[Shava_Oglenkz]

OK, thanks Rakhmad, i'll try it later.... It mean i must change my source of 'XP SP2' with a new one which not contamined with any file of amd 64bit driver, isn't....?

Ok, now i will share a new problem here.  (hehehehe) Now i'm using Windows Seven in my CQ42 203AU, but i can't using some of my keyboard, such as alt+f4 for closing window, f5 for view fullscreen of power point, etc...

any one have a question...?

Yes, you read it well.

For your new problem in Windows 7, it can be can in bios setting.

F4 or F5 or any other Function keys are set as other functions see your keyboard lay out. The current setting need to push shift along with F4 to access F4, if you dont like it, just change the setting in BIOS.
