Posted May 26, 2014 Hey guys I recently came into possession of an old pc. I decided to chuck in a 320gb hdd I had lying about and to install windows xp. When installing the first time it blue screened because I had the wrong sata setting. I changed that now it loads up to the installing windows it get to about 35 mins left then blue screens and says down the bottom system dump or something like that. Can anyone help?

Posted May 27, 2014 Is this PC going to be connected to you local network? If so I personally would not install XP. As it is no longer supported it has become a large security risk. If you don't intend to connect it to the internet or your local network it will be fine (providing you can get it to install). good luck. -ces160 Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/157691-trouble-installing-windows-xp/#findComment-2101693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 27, 2014 It doesn't become a major security risk immediately when Microsoft decided not to continue the support...
