I have an Aopen AX63PRO. I plan to multi boot it. I can boot windows 98 but when i install Windows XP it seems to install fine but i keep getting a error loading operating system when I try booting for the first time. I can also boot Free Dos on the hard drive. I have tried two different hard drives. a 500 gb sata drive and a 1 TB sata SSD. I have booted Windows 98 from the 500 gb drive fine and Free Dos from the SSD. The version of XP I'm using is service pack 3 integral edition. It is 685 MB in size. I also have a DVD ISO image that is 1.6 GB ish. I get the same error if i try installing that version. I'm connecting the sata drives to the motherboard with this.

Thank You in advance.

What is the error you are getting ?

AI is inevitable, there is nothing you can do to stop it, no Ironman snap to save you from the Basilisk.

The exact error I'm getting is
"Error loading operating system".

How do you install W98 and XP, each on their own hard drive or both on the same hard drive?

your disks were the size used by servers in that motherboards day.
I'm still using 250gb SATA disks for my daily driver.
back then i was using 80gb PATA disks.
Original XP not good for large disks SP3 is the recommended not integral go vanilla as in original.
Your using SATA? THAT mobo only does IDE/PATA what card are you using for that? or is it a bridge adapter on the disks\drives?
Integral is bad for you there are many shitifications of XP out there ask me I’ll message you a link to a special real XP SP3 in DVD iso on archive.
Its special because it has the latest drivers including text mode sata support and has 2,700 views without complaints.

I'm using that to connect the sata drives to the motherboard. it works fine with windows 98 and it was also able to boot freedos. the integral xp does have SP3 intergrated. I let it make its own partition on both drives i tried. the installation seemed to go fine everytime i installed it. i get to the post screen then it will say boot from cd? then no bootable cd found so it looks for the hard drive. it finds it and pops up the error loading operating sysem message. I updated the motherboards bios to 1.32a. i also applied the tualatin/large drive patch to it. when i boot into the bios it sees the entire drive (even the 1TB one).

i currently have 98 on an ide drive. i had it on a 250 gb SATA drive because both were connected when i was installing and due to several partitions on the drives i accidentally chose the wrong one. it was running fine from the sata drive through the same adapter i'm using for xp.
