Hi,
I have a AMD 64 running on a K8V SE DELUXE motherboard. On promise SATA
controller I have a western 84 GB hard drive. I was trying to install XP64
with the drivers provided by ASUS for xp64. It was ok till the computer
reboot, then I had the typical screen you have for recovering from a hardware
failure (Black with, run in safe mode, recover previous last time it run
ok...) I think the real problem is the drivers are not ok for xp64.
Does anybody have the real drivers for my hardware or any idea about the
problem?
my graphic card in a ATI RANDEON

The Promise drivers don't work for standalone drives, only for RAID drives.
You should, however, be able to use the VIA controller - the drivers for
that work well.

For more on F6 and loading storage drivers:

And for some more on the different modes for storage driver load during
setup, and why you care:

Good news. Just a few days ago a driver for IDE on the Promise 378 was
posted. Apparently an enterprising individual re-wrote the driver using the
DDK. I've tested it on two Asus SK8V motherboards and also an MSI K8T Neo
and it works fine. It is on the download section of www.planetamd64.com.

Thank Russel,
I'll try to install xp64 using VIA controller

That's good news, Ken. Now why can't Promise do this?
