I’d be interested to know if this BIOS mod also works for the 6300. ROM Firmware for 8300 Elite and 6300 Pro Business

Upgrade your current BIOS to the latest version.

These computers are now really cheap on Amazon and in they are a bargain in my opinion if you just need a basic machine work school or office work.

An NVMe to PCIe Adapter, I used this one from Amazon.

In order to carry out this upgrade, you will need a few things: Proceed at your own risk! Required Hardware You could very easily break your machine. Either that or they releasec later machines with the same name that no longer support it.Īpparently they did provide FreeDOS pre-installed at one time, so you'd think that might get hung up over this issue too.This blog post contains instructions on how to modify your BIOS using a hardware programmer. The spec page does mention 'Limited Support' for Windows XP Pro (32-bit), so it's probably a software/configuration issue of some kind. Might be worth ensuring that you only have 2 GB ram installed just in case the issue is weird memory mapping. like disabling virtualization (VTx?) or data execution prevention (DEP) Possibly there is a non-intuitive option that needs to enabled or disabled also.

Windows XP is a successor to Windows NT as are the later versions if Windows, so that explains the name used in the error message. Most likely it's either hiding the 'low memory' region (0-640K) or some device is mapped down there. That's kind of an interesting error to be getting. This is the PC i'm using in case you're wondering: HP Compaq Pro 6300 Microtower PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support Any decent GPUs in mind that I can buy for this build? Keep in mind this build is for retro gaming, so it's not for heavy gaming or demanding titles. My main concern is currently the graphic card as this is a 320w PSU.

So plans changed to getting this HP 6300 Tower that comes with 4 GB DDR3 RAM and 320w psu, as well as an i5 3470 and 500GB HDD and a CD Drive that'll be helpful to install XP using a CD disk. I had a plan with an old PC from 2004 lying around however, DDR RAMs of 1 GB (both sticks) are literally defunct/no longer working, and nowhere where I live in Egypt are offering or selling DDR sticks used or new. Been considering for a while now that I want desperately a Windows XP build machine, it's been fun and all to mess with it on a virtual machine for the childhood memories but lack of capabilities to be able to game at all *because you know, virtual machines are just plain software in the end of the day* made me want to actually make a Windows XP Machine for retro gaming.
