Just as a matter of reference and etiquette, typing in all caps is
considered as yelling and rude.

Your device drivers also need to be 64-bit (AMD64) to run under Windows XP
64-bit for Extended Systems (AMD64).
You must get the AMD64 Windows XP drivers off your SATA drive manufacturer.
You cannot use 32-bit drivers with a 64-bit OS.
(This goes for all of the hardware in your system, not just the drives)
