SCSI drivers for XP 64-bit

I am trying to install Windows XP SP2 64-bit on a ESX 3.01 Server. Does anybody know where to find SCSI drivers for that system.

The floppy image containing BusLogic drivers in /vmimages/floppies/vmscsi-1.2.0.4.flp doesn´t work with 64-bit.

Neither does LSILogic drivers. Downloaded Windows XP 1.20.18 (13-JUN-05) ScsiPort 32-Bit driver (symmpi) and the readme.txt talks about 64-bit drivers but the package doesn´t actually have them.

Could not find any SCSI drivers from http://www.vmware.com/download/vi/drivers_tools.html either.

Any help would be appreciated!

As far as I understand, the drivers should already be included on the XP 64 installation CD.

XP doesn´t recognize SCSI (or RAID) configurations with out extra drivers.

..will answer this one my self : )

http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/host_bus_adapters/scsi_hbas/lsi20320r/index.html actually had the needed LSI Logic SCSI drivers after all. The "StorPort driver" title just throw me off.

thanks.
