XP Pro 64 Bit SP1 Won't Install

So I tried installing Windows XP Pro 64 Bit SP1 today and I ran into a lot of problems. First I tried installing with the xp disk and after it would be done loading the files it would say "Please Wait as Windows XP Loads" in the bottom left and just loop back to loading the files. I then tried slip streaming the sata drivers and I was able to create a disk but ran into the same problem. I also tried changing ACHI (?) to IDE and that didn't change anything either. The last thing I could think of to try was to also slipstream SP2 into the installation disk. Every time I selected the .exe it would extract in nlite but then I would get an error asking me to check to make sure 2 things are being followed. I don't remember exactly what they were, but I was pretty sure I was doing it right. Any advice?



Ok, some updates:

1.) Tried installing XP 64 Bit SP2 with and without slipstreamed drivers

-Same thing, gets done loading files, says Windows Is Loading and immediately reboots and loads files again

2.) Tried installing the XP 32 Bit SP2 that I have and it got past the loading windows stage to where I need to press enter to continue installing etc,

-Successful, but I don't really want to install the 32 Bit version



So, it looks like it has something to do with installing the 64 Bit OS. I ordered my cd's from e-academy (Colleges partner with Microsoft to get free software). So, any idea what's going wrong or what needs to be changed?

 

Which CPU have you got ? (System Config ?)

(and best remove "torrented" from the OP)

 

Sager NP8660

Whether you have the CD key or not, we do not allow talk about torrenting software here. I edited it out of your posts in this thread; normally I would close a thread containing that sort of content. You can continue conversation as normal now.
