Xp 64-bit back to XP 32-bit

I installed Windows XP 64-bit OS and it works fine. However, all of my design
software is not compatible, and as a result I need to reinstall my Windows XP
32-bit OS. When I attempt this, my SCSI hard drive is not recognized in the
install process. Any suggestions?

Hi Eric,

During the initial phase of the Setup process, you should see a message at
the bottom of the screen that will say something like this:
Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver
Press F6 at this point......you will see no immediate response to your
having pressed the F6 key, but in a short while you will be prompted to
insert the diskette that contains the third-party RAID or SCSI controller
drivers. At that point, insert the floppy disk that contains the needed
drivers and they will be installed. Although it's been a while since I've
had to install third-party drivers during Setup, if memory serves me
correctly, it will only look for those drivers on drive A, you cannot direct
it to look elsewhere (eg., optical drive) for the drivers.



Regards,

Hi

'Clean' install the 32-bit version. Unless you exactly what you are doing
with the 64-bit version *****leave it alone*****
