Hi All, Hope some one can help me with my problem. I am trying to install Windows XP 64bit on my Samsung NP-R510, the laptop has a Intel ICH9M/M-E Family 4 Port SATA AHCI Controller on it. I initially tried to manually slipstream the extracted 64bit drivers from IATA85ENU.exe that i downloaded here but this did not work; the XP install gets as far as the starting windows section and then it restarts (I do not get a blue screen of death). I tried this several times to no avail, so decided to try using nlite to do it automatically for me with the same results. Next i borrowed a usb floppy drive and just added the drivers by pressing F6 but again the same thing happened, i am sure the drivers i am using are the latest from the Intel website. The bios on my machine has an AHCI compaitibilty mode that i have tried on auto and manual (enabled and disabled), the motherboard on the machine is a proprierty board manufactured by Samsung and Samsung have advised me that the bios is up todate and is compatible with 64bit processing; as is my processor (Intel Core 2 Duo T5750). Does anyone have any suggestions on this? System Details Samsung NP-R510 FAA3UK Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 / 2 GHz ( Dual-Core ) RAM - 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM - 667 MHz - PC2-5300 ( 2 x 2 GB ) Hard Drive - 160 GB - 5400 rpm Screen - 15.4' TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) Optical Drive - DVD±RW (+R double layer) / DVD-RAM Graphics - Intel GMA X4500

Thanks very much, will give that a try tonight
