I cannot get XP 64-bit to see my SATA drive correctly. I hit [F6] during installation and installed the latest drivers, but Windows sees a 32GB dirve that does not exist as well as the 74GB drive that does. I am forced to format this drive because Windows states that it needs to copy files to this drive in order to boot. On the first reboot of installation I get an error message stating that there is a problem with the disk. Here is my configuration:

ASUS A8V-DX K8T800pro motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3000
WD 740GD 74 GB SATA 10k

Any help would be appreciated. This is driving me crazy.
