OK, will try. 
EDIT: UPDATE >
Got it to work ...

This is the first time I have a "4GB patch" + all drivers loaded and my USB is still working, so Im lucky/happy I don't sit with the problem I have with uSP4 (you know about that one)
Is there a way to have this version work with harkaz's uSP4 ??
Only problem so far is that I don't get the "OOBE user create" screen ... it logs in auto to the Administrator account, but I've had this before when using the POSReady addons ?? - You have any info on why this might happen ... not a big issue as I just create a user within windows.

Not quite, Dibya.
Nothing is wrong with the combo of addons you listed, just as there is nothing wrong with using OnePiece's update pack. Using USP4 is yet another way and one that some folks prefer since it is fewer things to install, can be applied in more situations and to more versions of XP, and does include some things that are not included in the other two approaches including some of the security settings, among a few others. It's mostly a matter of user preference and convenience.
Besides, if USP4 is the same as an updated Xp SP3 it should be trivial for you to make your exe work with USP4, shouldn't it?
Cheers and Regards

edit: People have been talking about it, but I am not fully clear.
Dibya, do you have a link to download a driverpack for PAE aka 4gb+ system? Most people here, that tweak, want to pick and choose what functionality to add, instead of adding everything at once. I prefer to stay at sp2, and add the fewest files possible, that will get me the functionality I need. I prefer less software bloat, than adding all the security patches. 15 years of no problems doing this. Also, most of the time, I have not used security software, except for Sandboxie or Virtualbox, to try out dangerous stuff. https://www.facebook.com/nerdondemand/p ... 1493769213
Hi Dibya,
I use WinSetupFromUSB to install various operating systems (including Windows XP 32-bit) on PCs from USB - you can have the installers from a number of different OSes on one bootable USB stick, and then just select which OS you wish to install. I highly recommend it if you haven't used it before (it even incluses drivers for some SATA controllers so XP can be installed with the HDD mode set to AHCI instead of IDE compatible). My question therefore is: how would I use your patched files when installing XP from USB using WinSetupFromUSB? For most OSes, WinSetupFromUSB just uses the installation ISO, but for XP (Win2000 also) it doesn't use an ISO image of the XP installation CD but instead has a complete copy of the CD (there is a directory structure under \WINSETUP\XPpSP3\ including the I386 folder, etc). For example, do I need to replace the hal.dl_ file? And if so, how?
Thanks very much,
3g

Re: Remove 4GB RAM Limit of Windows XPx86 extend to 128GB
What about the patched SYS files (using patched XP USB drivers instead of files from 2003) ?

Re: Remove 4GB RAM Limit of Windows XPx86 extend to 128GB
Hope someone here may help me:
Recently my USB started causing system freezes and generally stopped working on system that was running patched kernel for months without any issues. It may have started after running windows update (POS updates), but I can't track it down to any specific update. Plugging in USB flash driver results in system hanging up, similar how it happened before replacing usb sys files. I double checked and all USB .sys files are correctly replaced with the ones from win2003.
Is there any way how to identify problematic driver that is causing problems on system running patched kernel?
Maybe Dibya knows what I should look for? I can use windbg from other machine, but as system wouldn't crash to BSOD (just any USB operations freeze), I can't easily trace it to one driver. Does the extended memory cause some exceptions or something I can look up using windbg? I'm sure there must be some other USB-related driver that's not liking patched kernel.

@Dibya
In March 2017 (KB4011981) there was a security update for the kernel with the file version 5.1.2600.7197. After the installation of the patch KB4011981 the changed files ntkrnlpa.exe and ntkrpamp.exe were overwritten from your patch. Therefore the two files from KB4011981 should be adapted accordingly and your 128GB_double_pae_addon should be updated. As long as there are still updates from MS (POSReady), this problem can occur again on a patchday.

Re: Remove 4GB RAM Limit of Windows XPx86 extend to 128GB
HI all.
New to this, but a holdout for Windows XP 32 since I have older PCI hardware that I still use for audio.
Currently multibooting and have XP & Win 7 32 bit. I7 3770k 16Gb RAM and a NAF93-Q77 MB.
I've been able to use a Patchpae3 on the Win 7 install, so no issues there, but on XP, nothing changed.
Wondering if your solution would work.. but I cannot slip stream as all software on my XP install literally took days.
Suggestions or advise would be helpful.
Thank you for making this information available and thank you in advance.

Re: Remove 4GB RAM Limit of Windows XPx86 extend to 128GB
Just tried it and it works well, running on PC where I used GPT loader before to get 3TB HDD to work.Dibya wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2017 11:46 pmAnyone has hdd bigger than 2tb test my hdd patch?
http://www44.zippyshare.com/v/xjtewN1w/file.html
I copied all DLLs to SYSTEM32 dir and SYS files to DRIVERS. Only resutils.dll and disk.sys needed to be replaced, other files were new.
Also renamed ntoskrnl.exe and added boot.ini menu for it.
Then rebooted, but when I tried to start using this ntoskrnl.exe, it ended with black screen with "pci.sys is corrupted, load recovery to repair system" message. So I tried running system using original kernel and it worked!
3TB drive is normally visible and mounted, using it right now. So no need for special kernel for this.
Also tried your diskpart.exe but it always says "This version of diskpart is not supported on this platform." - probably checks for the needed kernel or system version.
But that doesn't matter, I already partioned and formatted the drive using linux boot CD.
Later I tried same in Vmware and on original SP3 install your kernel booted fine, so I guess it's something that was pushed in WEPOS updates that broke it (I updated my system using WEPOS updates unlike the VM).
It sucks I can't use RAM patch (still have that USB issues so can use extra ram only as ramdisk) but thanks for this HDD stuff, it's great, as the GPT loader caused some BSODs for me... hope this will be more stable.
Re: Remove 4GB RAM Limit of Windows XPx86 extend to 128GB
thanks for report . I have found a way to make hal patches much perfect . now no more we need to have server 2003 sys files for usb . I have implemented some code that blocks buggy drivers from interacting with PAE plus i fixed format issue . I will post as soon as i return home .

DO NOT USE THIS DISK PATCH!!!
Everything seems to be working but it's NOT! Seems like disk writes gets wrapped around over 2.2TB and ends up rewriting start of the disk!
Being stupid and trying it on my main PC for a week I just lost everything on my 3TB drive (all NTFS structures overwritten by data).
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!
does using sangs are allowed here ?
Well above it is well mentioned that it is for testing not putting on your main PC !!!!
Re: Remove 4GB RAM Limit of Windows XPx86 extend to 128GB
Hello all, and thank you Dibya for this. I finally got around to installing these files.
I was able to overwrite files on my already installed XP SP3 system from my other operating system, I've had some minor issues with certain drivers such as video (using a GTX 570) , but what I really want to ask is from what I see, is why I am only showing 1 CPU and no threads. It IS showing all 16GB RAM, but again, only 1 core (i7-3770K)
Does it disable all the other cores?
I can see in device manager under "computer" ACPI Multiprocessor PC AND Standard PC. I don't believe that is normal is it?
Anyone with any advice or suggestions?
