loserpunkx182 · 11-27-2004, 09:11 PM

anyone install this on their 64bit machine? how's it run?

also, i'm having a hell of a trouble installin this for some reason....i have all the files burnt on a cd-rw as an iso and reboot my machine to boot on cd-drive and...wait...wait...xp pro just starts

instead of the installation...anyone else had this problem or know what to do about it? i really want to try it out

i have 2 hard drives..master and slave, obviously, could i install it on the slave hard drive or do i need to use another partition on the master

I don't think you can boot from a slave drive so your OS needs to be on the master drive. Why do you need to install XP 64bit Edition when you have XP Pro?

just to test it out...see if 64bits will make a big difference

It runs remarkably smoothly and fast and stuff. Driver support is also fairly decent (with the noticeable exception of Logitech drivers).

You need to boot off the CD.

1. You can boot off the Slave Drive if the BIOS is configured to.
2. W64 allows you to run games and 64bit apps in 64bit mode

Well, probably because on your cd its an ISO, at least I think thats it...

**Praetor** · 11-30-2004, 07:12 PM
