Problem installing XP64

Post by **bitWISE** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 2:21 pm

While I'm thinking about it, I tried installing a copy of XP64 on my second partition but I can't get it to boot. It went all the way through the setup just fine. When I boot to it normally it shows the X64 Edition screen for a couple seconds and then reboots. When I boot in safe mode it loads up to acpitabl and then hangs and reboots.

I added /bootlog /sos to my boot.ini but apparently it doesn't even start logging before I reboot.

Running a Venice 3500+ with 74gb raptors in raid0 on an msi k8n platinum (nforce4 sli).

Is this the computer with the blown up MFT?

No, this is on my machine. The other computer is my roommates.

I obviously gave it the sata drivers but I was thinking about slipstreaming the nforce.

i would bet that the sata drivers are the issue.

Add the Nforce drivers in, and try it again.
