64bit Windows XP Install problem

[Jeremy Clulow]

During the install of Win XP for 64bit CPU's I tap F6 to install 3rd party
SATA drivers (which are fitted to the K8V deluxe m/board)

I enter the FDD that I created using the drivers both downloaded from the
www.asus.com website, and also from the CD that came with the motherboard.

When I select the relevant driver from the list I am told that the file is
corrupted.

I have tried 3 different floppy disks, and also tried another floppy drive!

What am I doing wrong?

I have also tried choosing the driver for 2000, NT4 and it tells me that
they are all corrupted!

With the latest drivers for the board from the Asus website I see that I
now have the option of 2003 IA32, is this the right driver or is that a
totally different OS? I tried this just to see, and I am told that that is
corrupted as well!

Help!!

I never used the ones from Asus's website. But I did use the SATA drivers from
viaarena.com. Go here http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=310
and download the driver and see if it goes any better. I have the same board as
you and it worked just fine.

Thanks. Just to clarify this, you installed the 64bit XP version from MS
(450Mb)

http://download.microsoft.com/downl...146bfd7501/srv03sp1_usa_1069_amd64fre_pro.iso

Using the drivers from the viaarea website and it was fine?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Pardon me for being thick, but is this MS d/l a 64b version of server2003
or can it be used as a simple OS?

TIA

Hi John,

This is a 64 bit version of XP for the AMD64. As it says in their
confirmation e-mail:

"Product: Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems Download"

It's free for 1 year. The it explodes ;-)

Cheers,

Jeremy

With a 64bit OS you need 64bit Drivers. I don't think there are any for the
SATA on the Asus motherbard at this time. You will probably have to stick to
using a standard PATA drive.

Wow. 1-year before the beta OS "explodes".

Alternatively, you can buy a retail version now and have it blow-up in your
face immediately.

Yeah sorry about that, had a slight brain slip when I read your post.I
installed on a PATA drive when I did it. The 64bit drivers I have are for video
and audio.

 

[SPRITE1001]

ok did some digging cuz I knew I saw a slew of 64drivers somewhere.

Check this place out, dont know if it'll run but they have SATA drivers (among
a bunch of others).
