SATA in Windows 64

[Guest]

When I try to install Windows 64 in my new computer, it states no HDD found. (I`m running an FX-51 in an Asus SK8V with a WD Raptor SATA drive.). When I try the SATA drivers from Asus , Windows states that the file is corrupted, but it all loaded fine with the regular XP off my other computer. The drivers I downloaded from WD won`t run on 64 either ?

Matt,

You must ensure that the drivers you are using are specifically for the
Windows 64-bit for Extended Systems (AMD64) opertaing systems. Drivers for
the regular 32-bit versions of Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 will not
work with the 64-bit editions.

A 64-bit operating system requires 64-bit drivers.
