How far does it get? The problem could be if you are using a SATA drive to boot from. The biggest disadvantage of Windows x64 is driver support - some SATA controllers may not have drivers. If you can find out what type of controller you have, search your manufacturers web site for a Win x64 driver. If they have one, put it on a floppy and when Windows setup is booting hit F6, and it will prompt you for the driver and then you can proceed with setup as usual.
