I've just recently upgraded my box.. Although I had a 64-bit cpu before, with my new FX-55 and 2 SATA hdds I thought maybe it was time I installed X64 and got the most out of my system. So I obtained Windows XP X64 pro edition. I installed it on my RAID array with my driver disk and everything went fine. But when I went to boot for the first time, it just reset. It brings me to the OS choices prompt (because I still have XP home installed on my IDE drive), and I select X64, then it brings me to that stupid "windows did not boot properly" screen or whatever the hell it says. I try all the different options, but after I select anything (i.e. safe mode) the screen goes black for a second, then it restarts and brings me to the same screen. XP home still works fine running on the IDE drive, but it just restarts over and over when I try to boot x64. Here are my specs:
