Hi,

I can't even get x64 to install as it keeps hanging in the first part of the
installation process.I've tried unplugging usb devices,updating Bios,running
the new x64 Nvidia 6.66 drivers,sound card,removing a stick of RAM,using
three different drives,different DVD Roms nothing makes any difference?? Any
help would be greatly appreciated my system consists of AMD FX57,Asus A8N SLi
Premium,2 x 1gb modules Crucial ballistix,2 x 74gb Raptors,1 x 160gb
WD,Enermax 600w,7800 gtx.

Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing you used the F6 option to install the 64 bit sata/raid drivers?
If not, that's likely your problem.

You'll need to find the proper drivers, copy them to a floppy and use the F6
option to install them.

Prehaps thats it, or does it hang during the nice pretty install screen
while attemping to copy files? I made a copy of my original windows XP
professional and did all my installs off it until one day it froze at exactly
the same place everytime, I for some reason racked my brains over this and
refused to use the original cd, and On my last straw i poped open my cd drive
adn grasped my cd, ready for the frisbee manuver when, POP, up comes this
screen that says it failed to copy some sound file (sound42.wa_ or something)
i reinseted cd, pressed cancel, it asked if i wanted to continue install
without this file i grinned and excepted.

My system is very similar to yours: 2 raptors, Fx 55, same motherboard. I've
installed the OS several times, and it always frezzes for awhile when there's
5 minutes left of the installation. If the same thing is happening to you,
just leave it alone; after 20 minutes or so the installation will finish.

Good luck.
