winxp x64 multiboot on sata

[theBIGone]

look here the problem..

ik have a gigabyte k8vt800m motherboard
200 gb sata hard drive
windows xp home edition (32bits)

now i want to make a multiboot with
windows xp home edition (32bits)
windows pro x64

but when i entered the x64 cd it said i had no hd in my pc..
stupid of me.. i had forgotten to dload the sata drivers

now my problem.. the drivers are 5.8 mb so they don't fit on a floppy disk

how can i install win xp pro x64 on my pc?

I cannot believe the sata drivers are that big. Are you sure there isn't other software included?
You can slipstream the sata drivers into Xp if you like, using nlite. This involves making a new install cd. Nlite is free, easy, and works like a charm.

i do think that's an option.. but. i was looking further and found a special x64 driver that is 2.5 mb. still too lagre
this is the link:

so its the serial ata raid driver.. is that the correct driver?

... shit i really don't get this

ok update

i understand the packages a little bit better

they where 5.8 mb and 2.8 mb but many more info was in there.
so i unpacked the files and put the drivers on a floppy
but the 32-bits version of the driver wasn't exepted by the x64 setup
and the 64-bits driver causes an unexpected error.

so what now?

thx for your help

OK. Yes, you need the serial ata drivers. You tried to install xp 64 bit. You had the new 64 bit drivers on floppy? You pressed F6 to install the drivers when windows asked?

i fixed the problem.. don't know what when wrong the first time but the drivers got exepted the second time i put them on a floppy.. xp x64 works now

tnx for the help
