Hi,
I'll have to ask those with long memories to help me out on this (apart from "no chance"!)
I'm trying to create a WinXP system to support my (retired) brother's wish to fire up an old Inventor app: it's only licensed for WinXP. He's a civil engineer with a bunch of designs. I've bought a system based on Gigabyte's GA-Z77-D3H motherboard and a ATI/AMD FirePro W5000 (FireGL V) graphics card (new from China....). It's actually a beautiful card! I've bought these components because they all have WinXP drivers, still.
I've managed to create a WinXP system (thank you nlite, for your slipstreaming app)
I can install the W5000 on a modern system (B450, Win11, pcie v3 x16 etc), and it all looks good.
I can install the W5000 on the target-system (D3H)'s secondary x16 card slot, running at v1 x4, with those ancient x86 Catalyst drivers on this WinXP system.
It is 'found' during boot, and I can manage the BIOS settings.
But for the life of me, I can't get it to work in the primary x16 slot at any v1/2/3 setting. This Intel Core i5 2400 system has an IGP, and switching it on or off in the BIOS has no effect. I can't get to the BIOS, and of course, it never gets to the WinXP login.
Do I just need another ATI card in the primary slot? (I have an nVidia card, but remember well the battles between manufacturers such that you could never load both Catalyst and nV Control Panel on the same system) Is there some BIOS setting I'm missing? Was the W5000 never intended as a primary driver?
Thank you GPU-Z, too!
