My laptop was originally setup with Windows XP a few years ago. When Windows 7 came out I turned it into a dual-boot PC, but the bootloader still resided in Windows XP. Then a few months ago I got a larger harddisk, so I created a fresh Windows 7 installation on it then copied over the Windows XP partition. Windows 7 works fine and Windows XP shows up in the bootloader menu, but when I try and boot WinXP it gets stuck.
When I run my application (WPF,VB.net 2008) on Windows XP, I get weird Windows Errors. When I installed VS2008 on the machines that got the error and debug. I got a loader lock exception, so I went into Debug and removed it. However, I still get the error when it is installed on the machine.
Windows Loader For Windows Xp Sp3
Or course, that being said, I have seen external drive manufacturers combining a GPT loader in with their drives which will allow Windows XP x86 I/O on a drive greater than 2TB, this may be the case in your situation. The GPT loader I have come across is called Paragon GPT loader. I would imagine this would cause lag on I/O as it is another stack process.
This will create the windows bootloader, if you indeed have a dual boot system with linux, you will loose the linux. in that case need to manually edit the grub.config in linux(if it boots in linux) if it doesnt boot in linux either, just boot using any live cd and edit the grub file(I wouldnt know as I am MS guy)
Start to extract the boot loader from the original Windows XP CD. Using IsoBuster, select the "folder" Bootable CD, and right-click Microsoft Corporation.img. From the menu choose Extract Microsoft Corporation.img, and extract it to the folder on your hard drive where you have your Windows XP files (E:\XP-CD in my case).
edit: it is booted and the new files appear to be still there and not reverted to originals but there is no trace of the wd 12 tb drive in windows nothing in disk management, my computer or device manager
If you looking on the internet for a Windows XP Product Key So, you come to the right place now a day shares with you all windows XP version product keys or serial keys to get enter and activate windows in 2022.

At startup, the Windows XP boot loader, NTLDR, reads the information stored to the boot.ini file to determine which operating systems the computer can boot from and uses this data to create a boot menu from which a user can select an OS. If the boot.ini file is corrupted or missing, however, the computer won't display boot options and instead will automatically load the default OS contained in the "C:\Windows" folder. If you require the use of multiple OSes in your small business, but the PC isn't providing the proper boot options at startup, you can create a new boot.ini file from the Windows XP CD.
I have managed to find a donor machine which boots the OS loader to the standard Windows failed to boot last time screen. Which ever option I choose it loads a few drivers and then restarts. I have tried to use a standard XP disk to repair but it doesn't find an installation to repair. CHKDSK returns no errors. This is my first experience of XP Embedded - I suppose that I must use an XP Embedded disk, but I don't have one and a search on the internet resulted in a few iso's none of which booted and were of dubious origin.

2. Use arrow keys to select XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process. After successful completion of repair windows will restart and again will display "Press any key to boot from CD".
A lightweight loader for the shimgvw.dll was implemented. It adds ATOM "FailObsoleteShellAPIs", asks which image should be opened (if it wasn't passed as an argument), and then passes the execution to the shimgvw.dll. The viewer works properly, so I have not investigated what those obsolete shell functions are used for. At least, it is not something crucial.
Present only on dual-boot systems. NTLDR uses this file when the selectedoperating system is not Windows XP. Bootsect.dos in turn seeks out theOS-specific operating system loader file, such as io.sys for MS-DOS oros2ldr.exe for OS/2.
Multi-booting Windows XP with non-Microsoft operating systems, such as Linux,often requires third-party boot and partition managers. For popular tools, seethe "For More Information" section at the end of this chapter. Red HatLinux contains two boot loaders—LILO and GRUB—that can also be usedfor a dual-boot configuration with Windows XP.
After you have completed copying your windows XP CD you will need to create a boot image by extracting it from your existing XP CD. To do this, have your XP CD inserted in your computer and start ISOBuster. When the program starts you will see a screen similar to the following. If you do not, change the selected drive so that it is pointing to the drive that contains your Windows XP CD.
NOTE: If there are drivers for other versions of windows, for example Vista or 64 bit drivers, do not install them as it will cause file load errors. If you do select them, nLite will notify you of the problem.

Versions before Windows Vista install only one of their many HALs. Whichever is chosen, the installed copy is named HAL.DLL. This standard name is hard-coded into the loader. Unless an alternative is specified by a /HAL switch in BOOT.INI, the HAL that is loaded is whatever file is named HAL.DLL.
Windows Vista and higher install one HAL as HAL.DLL, as with earlier versions, but also install their one or two HALs under their own names. These names are hard-coded into the loader, along with the standard name HAL.DLL. In Windows Vista specifically, a detecthal option in the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) may direct the loader to select from the two. In Windows Vista and higher, a hal option can specify any file to load as the HAL. Without the hal option, the HAL that is loaded depends on the Windows version:
I have now managed to get XP working in VM for just over 3 months with no problem, hopefully it will last. Instead of keep reinstalling XP from an old CD I decided to use an ISO image of XP Pro (I have windows 10 Pro) downloaded from the USA Microsoft site. When the installation asked for a key I used the first one from a Google search and it worked ok and has been good ever since. 2ff7e9595c
