Quote - XP Pro 64 installation CD doesn't load the drivers that are necessary for detecting SATA/RAID hard drives (it's looking for IDE drives)

This was true for XP32 as well.

The easiest solution is to simply run your SATA HDDs in IDE mode. If you have any of the recent mobos, they all have an option like this in their BIOS which lets you choose what the SATA disk looks like to the system. If you select 'IDE' then the disks look exactly like normal IDE disks, are detected by the OS and actually run faster because they bypass the RAID controller (of course if you are setting up a RAID then the nLite thing is the only way to go)

EDIT: just dont do this after youve already installed the OS as otherwise it wont let you boot.

I'm using Nero 6.6.1.4 (32 bit) on XP64 with no problems.
