XP 64-bit driver problem

matt_fsr · 30 Jun 2008 at 10:58

I've been trying to install XP-64 bit on my newly upgraded system, which has an MSI P35 Neo2 board, but every time ive tried to load the Intel ICH9 SATA driver from a floppy, it crashes saying "cannot load Iastor.sys"

I've tried the SATA driver from the motherboard CD and downloaded from the MSI website, and tried on several floppies incase of a dodgy disk.

Anyone else had this problem, or got any suggestions? :confused:

Cheers

copy xp cd to C:\xpcd on a working pc..
download raid slipstreamer from msfn forums, integrate the 64bit drivers (just the intel ones)
use nlite to build the iso again and burn to disc

100% works, no need for floppy

Cheers bledd, i'll give that a bash.

Trouble is, there's no differentiation regarding the actual SATA drivers as to 32 or 64 bit operation?

Linky here:

Reckon it should do both?

the raid slipstreamer has the drivers included in the package, it's basically a 1 click shotgun approach
