It is quite old and mostly irrelevant as FreeLoader is ported to UEFI nowadays.

I'm trying to boot WinXP SP2 32-bit in VMware in UEFI 32 mode from NTFS partition but I have BSOD 0A:
[ external image ] [ external image ] [ external image ]
With the normal version of Quibble, it doesn't even start to boot the system and there is an EFI_NOT_FOUND error:

I also tried Longhorn bootmgfw.efi & winload.efi 5472.5 in this way: F8 > Disable Driver Signature Enforcement but does not work and there is still an error 428:
[ external image ]

Normally I use loader Longhorn 5219 and in VMware works ok but I want to boot WinXP 32-bit on the ASUS T100TAF laptop with UEFI32 (no CSM) and loader 5219 does not work - stuck with cursor in left up corner:

I am not sure about Quibble, but even winload 5472.5 is too old to work properly on Asus T100TA. I think your best chance is with UEFI FreeLoader. For bootvid and video driver take a look at this repo:

What files exactly are needed for UEFI FreeLoader? Where can I download ready binaries?

New UEFI Windows loaders are not able to boot NT 5.x kernel.

P.S. In the case of the WinXP 64-bit version, I use a loader from Longhorn 16497 (released in 2008) and works even on Intel Gen 12 PC's released in 2021 :-)
This is probably the last one can load the NT 5.x kernel.

Asus T100TAF was released in 2016/2017 so it is old.

None of your image links in your OP does work after your edit. I will not allow the edit that way. Fix it and I will, otherwise I will disapprove in three days which will remove the whole thread. That's the problem if someone edits the OP after the thread is already running.
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

If my post/reply offends or insults you, be sure that you know what sarcasm is...
