I can't install Win XP on my Asus G51J-A1

I have tried everything, slipstreaming and the guides for the previous G51 laptops. Every single time I get a 0x0000007B BSOD.

Any clues on how I can get XP on my machine? I need it for Siemens Step7 and WinCC software to run.

Help

 

change sata mode to ide in bios

 

I don't have that option on my G51J though I do remember having it on my older G51 laptops.

 

Try compatible mode in BIOS instead.

 

create a new XP installation CD with Nlite to integrate the AHCI driver. You should also integrate the LAN or WLAN driver

 

We tried all the suggestions and still couldn't figure out why it won't work, too bad we don't have any G51J anymore but I'll try G51Jx tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the help, but as Ken said, we already tried those options and still didn't work.... haha.

 

G51JX doesn't have that options as well !

have you tried this ?
you can use a bootable usb device to install windows XP !
Now I have dual windows boot on my G51JX

 

Hey there. Yeah I actually have like 3 or 4 Win XP attemps with nlite already, all with the drivers slipstreamed etc but it hasn't worked at all.

How did you make a bootable USB win xp? I might try that. Though I am leaning more to a possible hard drive issue that's preventing me from installing XP.

 

There is a lot of win versions out there pre made ..
Legal ? ... who cares ..

Finally got it installed! I had the wrong SATA controller drivers all along! The G51J uses the PCHM driver

now im installing the drivers.

yay!

 

I knew it

 

Had the same problem, eventually created a WinXP boot CD with the SATA driver integrated.

Problem I'm having now is finding a working Wireless LAN driver for the Asus G51JX, I believe it is an Azurewave card? I've tried using drivers from the Asus site and the Azurewave site but to no avail. Anyone had any luck with this? Thanks!
