Hello all,

im trying to install winxp64 on my new system :

Asus K8V Se Deluxe - Raid + Sata

2x 200GB Ata , 1 x 20 GB Ata, + 1x 40 GB sata

I want to use my 40 GB Sata as primary startup disc, but here comes the problem.

When installing, Windows tries to 1st of all, write a bootsector on a ata disc, in stead of de sata disc.

Besides, without a driver disc for windows it wont install properly. Does anyone have suggestions for installing winxp and getting it on de sata?

Thanks in advance,

Hooglander

Just follow the instruction on this thread:

I tryed it..It wotks..

You have to edit your TxtSetup.sif and drop your sata driver in the I386 folder..Burn..when you boot with the cd..your sata drive will be listed..

I too have an AMD64 with the K8V SE DeLuxe mobo. I'm tryin to install WinXP64 using the sata drivers from VIA. After I followed the instructions on how to make the driver a decorated one, I still get the 7B error. Is there any other way to install it?
