Navigating around ACPI identification during Windows XP installation
You're facing a challenge with Windows XP installation on non-ACPI hardware. The system seems to be blocking ACPI detection due to BIOS age, and the standard setup doesn't offer clear paths for older versions. You might explore modifying the HAL settings or using alternative installation methods before proceeding.
During selection of ACPI Multiprocessor, a BSOD appears before loading the graphical interface. The Uniprocessor option isn't available since the system has multiple processors. Instead, a driver installation window opens.
