Install Loop
Hi all,
I have spent a great deal of time on the forums checking out other install issues, but I can't find any that specifically match my problem:
This is a fresh install of XP pro 64bit. I have had the version 4.04HE 64bit working previously (as in yesterday) but now I've reinstalled the OS, I am experiencing an install loop.
I run the .exe, it tells me that it needs to install the SPTD layer. I accept and then reboot. When the OS returns, DT auto starts the install, but simply says it needs to install the SPTD layer again and needs to reboot. Hence the loop.
I have no errors, except this in the System Event Viewer:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: sptd
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4
Date: 14/06/2006
Time: 11:25:05

Description:

I do not have any firewall or AV installed (even disabled Windows FW!), tried installing in safemode, deleted the SPDT.sys files etc etc - basically, anything that other posters have suggested in previous threads - to no avail.
I've never had any issues installing DT 64bit previous to this. All the same hardware as before, which is:
WINXP 64bit PRO
AMD 64 4000
2GB PC3200
SATA RAID0 (2x 80GB) Partition C:/ (40GB), D:/(the rest)
NForce 4 AMD64 v.6.69 (latest)
Any help really appreciated!
