Hello...my problam is that im trying to install Windows 64-bit cause i got Athlon-64-bit 3200+ that works on ASUS K8V deluxe mainbord and i got MAXTOR 160gb SATA 150 HDD.
now i downloaded the last bios version 1007 and installed it and i got the 378 promise raid controolers to activate the windows sata installation i got couple difrent versions of that controoler that ASUS provided me.. 1 from my ASUS CD
secound from ASUS web-site... both for asus promise raid and not for VIA cause im using promise raid...VIA is only for 2 HDD's now i booted from my win-64-bit cd and when im hitting "F6" key and putting the floopy in, selecting Windows XP it's thinking and show's me a message that "fasttx2k is courapted" now fasttx2k is the main driver for SATA promise controller.. it's the file that supposed to be found by win xp to activate third party controllers as my sata...as i said i've tried servel diffrent asus versions of my sata controolers and servel diffrent floopy diskette's and my SATA mainbord BIOS controllers are modified just fine to work with normal win-xp as the one im typing in from now. i've thought and found only one soulation that im thinking about trying.. i've tried to install win-xp-64-bit from win-xp pro not from clean format..
so i thought that maybe that is the problem..but im affraid of loosing all my data just for one thought...and i cant figure the connection betwen the problems so i'm not going to do that until im 100% sure it will work.
so what should i do?...
im kinda out of options...
if you got to this point of reading my problem im very thanking you
