So you succeeded in booting Win XP on the N900 ? if so, how did you do that ?

[cardiff-blues]

yes please show some screenshots or a video.

this thread is useless without video.

1. you need to modified the xp installation cd see this link
2. power off or eject all other local hd drives
3. boot from your modified cd and install winxp normally onto micro sd

Wild guess: do you mean you installed Windows 7 on microSD, then put the microSD into the Nokia N900, then connected the Nokia N900 to a computer via USB, then booted Windows 7 in that computer from the microSD in the N900?

If so, then I at least misunderstood you (and I guess most current readers of this post)... may I suggest editing the thread name and/or post?

(all those installations i use the sd directly from the n900 not from Adapter )

When you say modified..was it modified to run on an ARM CPU? The dependencies would be all wrong..

And did the OS boot from the start ie choose whether Maemo or XP. Or did you boot XP from Maemo?

all those os boots from the sd in your pc - they not running in the phone screen
