Downloading now! Speed is: 610KB/s om 50 Mbps connection in Thailand. Will try to install tomorrow on an old P4 in my Office. Have to check CPU fist is one without NX. It's local 21:00h and I'm at home!
Download up to 700KB/s now and 60% done. Will directly burn to an DVD because I don't know that old MB could boot from USB! It's an PC-Chips board and an other I have couldn't boot from USB! Never mind have hundreds of empty DVD's , so no problem!
Sorry FaiKee, the P4 CPU I have is to new and has NX already. It's an Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 524 supporting HT Technology (1M Cache, 3.06 GHz, 533 MHz FSB)
I will try it at work on old celerom 775 + 4Gb DDR2 x) It has no NX, no X64, so could be go for testing ^^
No Problem! You're always welcome! I still was try on that old system but I guess there is a problem with that Mainboard. Could install Window 8.1 and it works. While running, every app. 20sec. it will stop for a minute or so and than carry on. Time to send it to the Bin! Never mind, good to see that you seems to be successful with your mod.
no time to test it at work But I got windows 8 working on my old AMD ATHLON XP 2800M it is nice but I'm faced too boot problem and dunno what to do always have to hit F8 then 7 those are my bcd entrey : View attachment 22619 I will be rly gracefull if someone can help me Was not so easy to get everything working ( AC'97 was rly hard >< while GeForce 5200 was easy mode ) SPEC : AMD ATHLON 2800M 1.5Gb DDR1 GeFORCE 5200fx ECS - Elitegroup K-8-M800-M2
Sure do, it's simply just the same win8 Enterprise everybody is using. It's either F8+7 on every boot or a TEST watermark (please refer to OP); something you just have to live with ATM. en-US, you can add LP's thru control panel, activate with KMS......same as a normal win8.
Thanks! I will try it today. My config: 1 GB RAM, Intel Celeron CPU 2.80GHz with PAE and SSE2 support. No NX-bit.
I think we can sign kernel to prevent F8+7 at boot : old trick was used on windows 7 with PAE patch ( can not post link but not hard to get )
I can't install it yet, beacuse my HDD broken. I used EASUS Partition Master to make a new partition to install Windows 8 but when it was done can't boot into Windows 7 (my actual OS) and can't even re-install win 7. I have a new HDD and I will try to install Win 8 without f*ckin' partition master.
there are three most important things to be done when playing with IT fire: 1. backup, 2. backup, 3. backup Which one of the three did you follow to get your data back?
