I want to install Windows XP on my current rig. To avoid any fuss or muss with partitions, dual boots I have a total separate SSD drive for my XP installation. However, after booting from the disc and it loading the various files/drivers the Windows Start-Up gives me the blue screen below before it can get into any installation/format drive options -- this is a genuine Windows XP Professional (32 bit) disc.
My system is an ASUS X79 Deluxe, 4820k i7 Ivy-E Bridge with 8 x 8GB DDR3 RAM and a Titan Black. I realize this is overkill for XP and that it can't utilize 64GBs of RAM, either but Ivy-E is supposed to be compatible and I see no reason to have another tower on my desk for XP gaming when I can install XP on here. Any ideas? Perhaps I need to turn off some features in BIOS?
