1) The key word here is /beta/. When installing any beta application you
should abide by the caveat that it should not be installed in a production
environment. If you fail to heed this warning, and you have problems, well
you've only yourself to blame.
2) MS don't generally release service packs for an operating system
that's still in beta. From where did you download this "service pack"?
3) This group is for hardware support for the 32-bit version. For
assistance with the beta version of XP for AMD 64-bit systems, please repost
to

4) Driver support is the responsibility of the system manufacturer. As
the OS is still very much beta, drivers are very thin on the ground. If
there is no driver (and that's highly likely) you're going to have to either
live with it, or wait for one to become available (probably when the OS is
finally released).
