from the CD...I looked for support and ms has none for this ....can
someone
point me in the right direction??

These aren't my tips, but this guy is running Win64, So FWIW ......

WinXP-64 Beta install on MSI FIS2R
Set BIOS to defaults
Disable the caches (video & bios)
Enable CnQ
Don't disable either sata controller even if your not using it
Enable or disable the onboard sound depending on your having a sb in a
pci slot or not.
Don't do the F6 at the beginning of the install.
Don't try to feed xp64 any drivers in the very initial part of the
Install.
The firewire drivers, usb drivers, serial drivers are all on the xp64
install.

Cheers,
Ed
