Re: win. xp pro 64bit trial, error: "

 

You need a SATA controller driver for that model. Gateway provides them for

Vista x86, Vista x64, and XP x86 but does not list one for XP Pro x64.

Unless you can obtain one from the manufacturer of the controller you may

not be able to run XP Pro x64 on this machine.
