Loaded Windows XP Professional 64-bit on my OptiPlex 9020M BTX & need to find drivers that work.
I needed to run some old code so I have to revert back to Windows XP Professional 64-bit on my Dell Hardware = OptiPlex 9020M BTX. I installed XP ok but it just boots up I see the Windows XP Screen then it reboots so I obviously need some drivers that will work with XP on this Hardware as well as probably a new Bios layout that supports XP. Does anyone have any ideas? Helppppppppppppppppp Thanks for any & all help.

XP is not supported by Microsoft or INTEL or Dell and there are no F6 Mass Storage Drivers. 64 bit XP support ended many years ago. There was NEVER an SP3 for XP 64 bit.

Your best bet may be to try to find an older Dell unit like a GX520 or so that still works. You may need to start over on the XP install using a newly formatted drive so none of the info from the other unit tries to get in the way of the 520 data.

Why not use a VMWare to make a Windows XP Virtual Machine?
