XP 64bit HELP needed

[Guest]

Hi, I have downloaded XP 64bit Edition. I have a 64bit ready computer and want to put XP64bit on it. When I try to install it I need to install the 3rd party drivers which I have, but when I try and add them I get an error message

"File /amd64/sil3112r.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2129 in d:\srv03spb\base\boot\setup\oemdisc.c."

I have tried the RAID and the non RAID drives and i get the same basic message.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks in advance.

You cannot install 32 bit drivers on the new 64 bit OS. If there are no
drivers at the manufacturers website or on www.planetamd64.com, then you are
out of luck. It is a BETA OS, and there are very very few drivers out
there.

Here's a link to AMD's page on 64 bit drivers and links to manufacturers
providing them. Both SiliconImage and Promise have drivers available, and
the links are there:

The drivers that I have are 64bit not 32bit

You should take this to the 64 bit newsgroups:

Yes, the server newsgroup is correct.
