Installation problem: x64 won't format.

I get this error trying to install x64 [from memory, but mostly verbatim]:

"Setup cannot format the partition. Your computer may not have enough
memory to perform this operation [it sure does!] or your Windows Cd-ROM may
contain some corrupted files [it sure doesn't--I verified those files byte
by byte with the MSDN source files]."

I thought it might be the SATA/RAID drivers, which I added to the CD, but
Windows recognizes the drive, and has no problem creating and deleting
partitions. It just doesn't want to format them. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Never mind, resolved problem--it looks like an issue with nlite and SATA
driver integration.
