And all I want to know is: WHY! I tried four different ISO’s of Windows XP (one is untouched). It’s a regular shutdown as well, I can hear the slight clicking noise of the hard drive, which is the cue for it to shut down. Then it goes to the “Setup is starting Windows”-screen. After that, the netbook reboots and it starts with the “Press F6 to load drivers etc.”-screen. I am able to get into the “experience a new look”-part of the Windows installation. I tried everything to get Windows XP on it… tried to install it using Easy2Boot, tried to install it using Fernando’s guide to integrate AMD’s AHCI/RAID Drivers, tried to put the installation files on the hard drive on a different partition… everything has failed, and I am starting to believe that this is a hardware issue. So far, I was successfully able to install Windows 7 (both 32 and 64 bit) and Windows 10 with no issues. It came with Windows 8.0 pre-installed and it was such a slog that I couldn’t even update to Windows 8.1. I really want Windows XP on my HP Pavilion netbook… partly because of nostalgia and also because the netbook’s performance is really terrible. I really didn’t want to do this, but I’m at my wit’s end.
