Windows Xp pro 64Bit

Spits

Hmm, I dunno what it is but I cant get the CD-rom to work, I downloaded it and ran the cd at start-up and i get it to start then I get this error with funny numbers at the bottom, Can anyone help me, i got this version from microsoft directly. Maybe im not doing something right when i burn the ISO or what.

Any help in installation would be a great thanks.

It could be a bad download. Burning the iso is pretty straight forward with Nero you open the iso and burn it?

Could ya elaborate a little more on the error with "funny numbers"? Might give us more to work on. In the meantime if you have a fast internet connection try and download another copy. I have had a couple cd images I got for linux, oracle or OS's have something wrong and a re-download fixs it.

List all your hardware. You have drivers for all of it? Thats the key. If I were you I would cut up my disk so I had two OS partitions and could dual boot. Most people can't live with all the missing drivers right now in 64bit XP. I have four or five computers always on my home network. In fact I have four 64bit ones right now. So I have other computers that will have 32bit XP so I can hang stuff like a HP 4n1 printer with scanner/copier/fax software that won't have 64bit xp drivers. Or the software to interface a portable MP3 player etc.. All that stuff would take 64bit drivers and they just are not there. Your very limited on sound and NIC drivers also. So best bet is to load 32bit XP and get it all sorted out. And I think slipstreaming in sp2 really helps as it adds a lot of chipset drivers for the amd64 systems that were not there in original xp so the install is cleaner. Then load 64bit xp on another partition and see if its gonna work for you when you start trying to load or find drivers for all your hardware.
