and what does the "motherboard disk" have to do with anything?

also to clear this up here is the error he gets when he pops in a XP64bit disk:


this is vista.




when i pop in the same disk, i get a welcome screen from the disk after it spins up.

so what could it be?

It looks like you loaded the CD while your already running XP/32 bit, that is why your getting the error message. Am I right?

What you need to do is boot from the XP64bit disk and not try to run it from 32 bit Windows if this is the case.

As I mention before, I am using XP/64 with no problems,
