I just got the oem of win xp 64 and was about to install. Got as far as formatting the drive and getting the f6 raid drivers in off of floppy disk. Seems nvidia forgot to put in the .cat files into their driver sets for xp64. I know they are beta driver but I am pretty sure nvidia isn't a beta company. Because when xp gets to loading the files initally it stops and says the .cat files are missing. And in the .zip, .exe of the inital nforce 4 driver file, they are missing too. Kind of frustrating since some of us are wanting to use this OS someday. If any of you are going xp64 on nforce boards with raid, I did find a suggestion from the web that says copy the .cat files from the 32bit driver files and copy them to your 64bit raid floppy. Only a suggestion as I am about to find out, I will let you know what happens.

got the .cat files to work fine and the os is loaded. I know some of you have a replacement/swap license from microsoft coming soon and you maybe using nforce 4 boards, so above is some help is nvidia doesn't fix their problems.
