Your list is all 32-bit - drivers you need to download the new 64-bit drivers. But blogs are NOT a great way to deal with ongoing support questions. Please go to the news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general newsgroup and post a question there.

Thank you for such a fast reply! I really appreciate that. Well my motherboard is the Abit KV8-MAX3, and the MAXTOR DiamondMax Plus 9. I have the floppy I used before when I installed XP on it, but I am trying to install Server2003. Here is the list of drivers on the floppy:

Intel 82801ER SATA RAID Controller for XP & 2K
Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATA RAID Controller for XP
Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATA RAID Controller for 2K
Silicon Image SiI 3114 SATA RAID Controller for XP
Silicon Image SiI 3114 SATA RAID Controller for 2K
VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller for XP
Via Serial ATA RAID Controller for 2K

which one do I choose or can I not do this for Server2K3.

Thank you so much for your help!

If the install says it can't see your HD, you haven't gotten the correct driver loaded. Make sure you have downloaded the correct 64-bit driver from your motherboard mfg or the mfg of the controller and copied the necessary files to floppy. I'd suggest posting complete motherboard and system information to the microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general newsgroup and we can help there.

I have the Maxtor SATA DiamondMax Plus 9 and I have installed xp on it before but I have already formatted and partitioned it using fdisk. Like I have done millions of times before but I get that error: Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed on your computer" And I have installed the drivers for it. I have done everything you have said but no avail. Any help would be most apreciated
