Hello guys/guls,
I have a Dell Studio 1558 came with win7 64bit. I think Dell locked the bios to prevent the installation of XP (only thinking). I have XP cd with sp3 and AHCI drivers integrated. I get ACPI.SYS error BSOD wenever i try to install XP. However, i have successfully installed XP with F7 method which bypasses the H.A.L but after everythings done, XP installs itself with MPS-MULTIPROCESSOR H.A.L which is not good for INTEL I5 as they run on full speed all time along the fans. I need ACPI and i cant force that with F5 either as i get the same error. On the other hand. It could be that XP dont undersand the ARCHITECTURE of new intel chipset and processors? i dont know i m not an engineer... its just a matter of time XP getting installed with ACPI H.A.L and everything will be good to go.
I even tried playing wit TXTSETUP file and set the ACPIENABLE to value 1 but still no luck....
I even turned off the AHCI to ATA and sill get the same error.....i have got no idea wats wrong....Please note that i have destroyed all the factory partitions on laptop and i now have vista and win7 installed (dual booted) just cant install XP....if u guys have any solution please share...
?
anyone?
