    Getting BIOS not fully ACPI compliant when i'm trying to boot Hirens Mini Xp. On a Clevo m570tu. Bios is updated to the latest thats in the BIOS thread BIOS 0.19. Iv tryd to set BIOS to default settings this did not solve it. Also tryd hitting F7 when its installing but this makes the Windows Xp loader screen frezz. Is there anything els I can try? It works fine to boot it on my other Packard Bell.

    Are you in AHCI mode? Does Hirens Mini XP support AHCI?

    I tested it out now with a normal Win Xp installation CD. And i get the same bluescreen. Tested Windows 7 and it works fine. So its only windows xp that got a issue with ACPI compliant.

    That is normal behavior, Windows XP was not supposed to work with AHCI, only with IDE.
