Step by Step instructions for installing XP

[dproldan]

Hello all.

I will update these instructions as needed.

With these instructions you can install any version of windows XP, SP2 or SP3. It doesn´t need to be a tablet edition. I recommend using a lite or optimized version.

As far as I know, only two things are not working, resolution changer and tablet input panel. Both will be fixed soon.

You have to install Activesync too if you want to access the other half of your Shift.

Thank you to all the people who contributed on the other thread!

Enjoy!

1.- Download and save to a USB disk drive:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/fa3e...s_shift_XP_rar
and https://phatpipez.homeftp.org/HTCShi...chXPproSP2.exe


or http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/444...94.TPB.torrent
Be sure to extract the rar file before starting or have a unrar program installer available, you cannot extract rar files on a newly installed windows XP!


2.- Install XP. Use your own version in your own language!
Choose same disk and fast NTFS format. Use the administrator account for now.
Let it finish ignoring any message about the screen format, etc

Thanks for the step-by-step guide dproldan! I have a couple questions:

- What is left out as far as functionality with the XP install compared to Vista or will everythign work as far as the camera, control center buttons, etc...
- Any hopes soon for resolution changer and tablet input panel functioning?
- Without the mobility center built-in Vista, is the conenction to snapview done just via active sync?
- Download link for TabletPC_PatchXPproSP2.exe does not work and torrent has absolutely no availability. Any alternatives?

Thanks again!

Which drivers are for the G3 modem? I dont see them in the XP Drivers pack, or, are they built-in in XP already?

Also, any luck now or in the future to make the GPS work under XP?

You can use the 3G modem with USBTool and internet sharing programs from the windows mobile side, the RNDIS drivers are installed automatically the first time you connect.

GPS works fine on XP using franson GPSGate and activesync.
