Cannot resolve this one !
Sabertooth 99FX R2.0 ran Xp for 9 months perfectly, then started failure to find boot disc automatically, but booted if mbo Boot priority set to initiate boot up.
Selected mbo default settings - big mistake !
Now even trying to setup XP on a clean disc will not work because XP setup crashes after driver loading when first attempt to load windows takes place.
Yet loading and running Win 8.1 has no problems.
Failure XP specific - problem ignored by XP - no viruses - no new devices - disc faults - no new software until 8.1 setup - cannot see anything wrong with BIOS settings.
Would gratefully accept guidance since I wish to migrate (Zinstall) my XP..
This also fails because of XP boot (7B) crash !
Is this familiar to anyone ?
