Zhaoyang K49, E49 installation or modification of Windows XP system Setup Instructions

Reason Analysis:
Because Microsoft no longer provides Windows XP system technical support, the computer uses the hardware technology design time no longer consider XP system compatibility. In addition, with the development of hardware technology, the XP system released more than 10 years ago cannot support the new hardware technology platform. Therefore, the new model does not recommend installing the XP system. For example, because Intel's latest chipset has abandoned its support for Windows XP systems, it is not possible to install it as a Windows XP system with the latest Intel motherboard platform, and the system does not have drivers and software for this model, so Windows is recommended 7 (incl.) above operating system.
Solution:

If you are installing a Windows XP system for special requirements, you can try to change the installation based on the following actions.
Important Tips
Installation procedures used in the following scenarios refer to the installation of the original installation, ghost or PE installation because the installation process is not uniform, the system function is not fully consistent, we are unable to provide technical support. Ghost or PE installation method itself limited to the use of Exchange, informal installation system mode.
Several XP systems currently tested are not compatible with places:
1. GPT partitioning form. Early hard disk partitioning is a form of MBR partition, with the increase of hard disk capacity, the limitation of MBR partitioning cannot meet the requirement. A GUID disk partitioning system (GPT) that breaks the traditional MBR disk partition structure limits is introduced, and the number of partitions in the new structure is no longer limited (only 4 primary partitions can exist under the MBR structure), and the maximum supported disk capacity can exceed the 3 T limit. The operating systems currently supporting GPT partitioned formats are only a special version of Windows 7 64-bit systems and Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 systems. XP system is not supported. Therefore, the system needs to be modified in the BIOS UEFI boot mode is closed (UEFI mode can only be used in the GPT partition form), install the system to remove all the existing partitions, converted to MBR format.
2. The current computer using power management Chip XP system can not support, resulting in the installation of the 7B blue screen. The ACPI Advanced Power management feature is turned off by pressing F7 during installation and then continuing with the installation. XP system can not drive the effect of power management function will affect the use of the system sleep, hibernation and other power management operations, when the shutdown, will prompt "You can safely shut down", at this time need to click the power switch to normal shutdown.
