64-bit Windows XP

[Guest]

I downloaded the beta version of XP 64-bit OS and when I
try to install my SATA drivers for my Boot drive, the
first time it said that the file was corrupt, and
everything thereafter, ot says that the file on the
installation CD is not working... it was something like
D:\....\oemdisk.c. Any ideas on how I can get the SATA
drivers installed and continune to install the evaluation
OS?


thanks

It's beta software. You're pretty much on your own (-:

Do you have the requisite motherboard and processor?

The reason you're getting the files are corrupt message is because the SATA drivers you're trying to use are for 32bit systems. Check your motherboard manufacture’s website for 64bit SATA drivers. Most companies have released the drivers as BETA so be aware of that. Or you can use the VIA drivers
Here's a link on how to install
