I finally got my download link and cd key email. i tried installing it, and
it finishes through the first part and then reboots. When it tries to load
windows x64 to finish the install, i get an error saying "{windows
root}\system32\ntoskrnl.exe missing or corrupt, re-install the file" i have
tried using the recovery console to copy it and that works, but it still wont
boot. i even redownloaded and burned the image. i can still access my
windows xp 32 bit, and yes i am installing them on separate partitions. what
is wrong with my 64 bit install?

One of two things:
1.) you need to copy the 64 bit ntoskrnl.exe to the root directory of the
32-bit install.
2.) you need updated storage controller drivers. See some of the other
threads here for details about how to get and load SATA or RAID drivers.

Where do you come up with your advise? None of these suggestions have
anything to do with the problem. Do you get an MVP by the number of post?

In a word, no. And I certainly don't get paid to be here, being abused for
trying to help people. If you've been following this ng, you'd know that the
problems with beta storage drivers have caused exactly this behaviour.

i tried copying the 64bit ntoskrnl.exe to the 32 bit install, that caused
neither to boot. i tried getting sata drivers but when windows tried
installing them from the floppy it said they were not supported by 64bit
windows. i will continue looking for 64bit drivers.

You need to get specific 64-bit drivers for _your_ motherboard and SATA
controller. See www.planetamd64.com for the latest drivers.

i went to planetamd64.com and downloaded the drivers for my sata controller.
i still have the same problem. I also tried changing the values in my
boot.ini file, and instead of the ntoskrnl.exe error i got one about hardware
configuration. In case it has anything to do with it, i have a MSI K8N Neo
Platinum mobo wth the NForoce 3 250Gb chipset, i have 1 maxtor 80gig IDE HDD
with winxp home, and am trying to install xp x64 on my Western Digital 74gig
raptor, which is connected to sata1 on the mobo.
