Hi!
Recently, I've been trying to revive an old machine of mine;
it has a Pentium 4 2.8(32bit) & 1.5 GB of DDR1 RAM and WindowsXP installed on it.
The motherboard is too old to support USB boot and I can't get it to boot from a DVD either(probably not supported)(The DVD I used was burnt using windows 10's own iso burning tool).
I tried a program called win32-loader.exe but that doesn't work, it works fine at first but when it starts to download files it gives the error "The downloaded release files can not be trusted. aborting!"
I tried extracting the contents of a Debian netinst iso and running setup.exe from there but that didn't work either as it gave the error "win32-loader.ini not found" although the .ini file is present in the same directory.
Are there any ways to solve the above problems?(win32-loader)
or is there any other way that I haven't tried already?
UPDATE:
on the first error, "The downloaded release files can not be trusted", I sadly found no proper answer
on the second one, "win32-loader.ini not found"; in contrast, I found that you need to copy the win32-loader.ini file present in the iso file and copy it to the following directories in windows:
C:\
C:\windows\system32
