Trying to install windows xp pro 64

[Guest mjhackworth]

Hey guys can i get some help. I am trying to install windows xp pro 64 bit

on my computer. I cant seem to get the cd rom to read the cd on boot. i

adjusted the boot sequence with cd rom boot first. i have zeroed out my

300gb sata hard drive. i run windows xp 32 fine and I dont want a dual boot.

My simple specs are as follows.

Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition Motherboard

2x OCZ SLI-Ready Edition Dual Channel 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory

Famous Brand 700-Watt Power Supply

2x Geforce 7600 gs video card (sli)

2x Sony DVD writer

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2

 

I am not understanding why I cant install this OS. Some help would be nice.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

If you have two DVD drives, try inserting the XP x64 CD in the other one and

boot again.

I have noticed that, if both drives are on the same IDE channel, boot from

CD works only from the one connected as Master.

Thanks Carlos, I have tried that and many other things. For some reason I

cant seem to get the CD to read. I get the xp 32 cd to read but not the 64.

It is very strange in my thoughts. I am wondering if I need to change

something in my bios to read the 64 cd.

Re: Trying to install windows xp pro 64

 

There would not be anything in the BIOS because the XP Pro x64 cd is

formatted CDFS like any other cd or dvd. The bitness of the data on the cd

is irrelevant. Where did you get the cd? If it is MSDN then download again

and burn at a relatively slow speed.

Re: Trying to install windows xp pro 64

 

Im curious..... is it possible to install pro 64 from a dos shell? I have in

the past installed win2k and NT from the dos prompt. It seems I couldnt use

that technique with pro 64. I was just wondering if I am doing something

wrong.

Re: Trying to install windows xp pro 64

 

No, pro 64 cannot be installed from a dos shell, at least

not the standard dos. I suppose you could if you were to

find a 64-bit dos so the cpu would be in the correct state

to install pro 64.

Re: Trying to install windows xp pro 64

 

Also, simply burn the .iso file to disk. Do not try to make the image

bootable first because it already is bootable.

Re: Trying to install windows xp pro 64

 

Hi,

Follow this tutorial:

http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm

for burning the iso image to disc, according to Colin's advice.

It is a common mistake to burn the iso file and not the iso image to the disc.
