Windows XP 64bit edition not installing

[condo King]

I have a Asus K8VSE Deluxe motherboard with A64 3400+ processsor and 1 Gig
ram.
I downloaded Windows 64 bit twice, and burned to CD with Col & Quiet turned
on, along with a SATA hard drive. I also have a PATA hard drive in the
system.

When boot from CD, I get the blue windows Setup screen, then after a minute
or two, the cd-rom spins down. It never seems to get past this point.

Are there any special BIOS settings or does it take time for something else
to run?

I have the same problem. Exactly the same motherboard, 1 Gig of RAM
and it gets to installing devices then sinmply restarts. I cannot get
past this point. I have tried three different CD's and downloaded it
three times just to make sure my CD and ISO was fine.

Must be something to do with the hardware I have.

Are you all forgetting that the 64 bit edition is BETA?
I would expect anything that MS puts out in a BETA form to be buggy..

I'd expect anything that MS puts out in final or production to
be buggy.

Which build of XP64 are you using? There was a problem with build 1218,
for which the cure was:

'Take the 1218 XP64 ISO, extract the files and the boot loader using
ISOBUSTER, replace the videoprt.sy_ with the file of the same name from
the older 1069?? release of XP64 and rebuild the ISO using Nero'

I believe there is a newer build available which presumably has this
problem fixed.

HTH,

Chris

That only applied to nVidia chip set boards, not VIA chip sets!

A K8V SE would be a VIA chip set.

try setting plug and play OS, setting in bios to NO
