AMD Tigris 785gx and Windows XP

Well you can get them to work but not very well. I have yet to track down a graphics, audio, or wireless driver, but if you need to have XP... have at it.

This should fix the BSOD( blue screen of death) while installing windows xp.

  • download a sata driver for a 785g motherboard from a manufacturers website
  • download Windows XP sp3 from the microsoft download center
  • I didnt but you will want to locate a driver for you network card
  • download nLite
  • Using nLite create new CD with drivers and SP3.

This also works for any computer with a controller card that is not recognized by Windows XP and does not have a floppy drive.

iMac 27" i7 quad core and Windows 7

FIX for black / blank / missing screen on 27" imac

FYI I believe all of this can be avoided it you have a second monitor to plug into the iMac. Rumor has it that it defaults to the Display port when finishing the install of windows 7.

Deleting the display driver from the c:\windows\system32\drivers directory did not fix the problem for me. Instead, it took me into windows and said "An unexpected error has occurred" and gives you the option of restarting and booting you back into the same screen.

Entering safe mode to disable the driver worked for me:


After it asks you to hit any key to boot from dvd,
hit F8 to bring up windows boot menu
Boot in safe mode

***Do not click OK to reboot the computer just ignore the dialog box***
SHIFT + F10 for command window

cd c:\windows\system32
run CompMgmtLauncher
navigate to device manager
I disabled a bunch of hardware but you probably only need to disable the video card.
