You definitely have to switch OS.  SRP in not support in 32-bit.

It wasn't completely clear to me what was supported or not (I'm not too 
familiar with Storport). For my information, can I assume then that SRP 
isn't supported in 32-bit Windows? I have x64 hw but an x86 install of 
Windows. I have other versions (2003 server or 64-bit XP) I can install 
also - I had just grabbed what was easiest late at night.

You can - but if I need to switch the OS, then you probably needn't 
worry about it for now.

I had tried that guy with the Windows hw installer wizard and "Have 
Disk" method. The wizard says "Cannot install this hardware...the 
hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary 
software," and when I manually specify the .inf, it tells me "The 
specified location does not contain information about your hardware."

Which Win OS is preferred? Sounds like I'll need to change.
