    Hi everyone...

    Just bought Compaq CQ40-115AU with bios F.03. Currently i'm trying to install XP by using slipstreaming method using nLite & added SATA driver. But it seems that when trying to install always get error message "the file ahcix64.sys is corrupted".

    Any advice for this case ?

    This error "the file ahcix64.sys is corrupted" may related to a mix drivers between sata 32bit and 64bit.

    Please choose only x86 if you were using XP-32bit and choose only x64 if you were using XP-64bit. do NOT select both drivers.

    Start from the beginning, your XP resource has been contaminated with 64bit driver.

    1. Copy a fresh XP cd installer to your harddisk
    2. Run Nlite and slipstream the amd sata (choose only x86 driver)
    3. Burn your XP to CD
