this is due to virus or malware. it is possible that it is present in hard disk. whenever you tries to open the file, at that time the virus get activated and creats error.........for this you need to install the latest updated antivirus. but some antivirus are worthless. so i recommend you to use quickheal antivirus and scan the hard disk

Usually it's because you're missing the SATA drivers.

Did you slipstream those in too?

If the install cannot detect the hard disk then the hard disk is faulty and needs replacing or the disk controller is faulty.
You can check if the hard disk is faulty by :-
Go into the BIOS and check if there a hard disk diagnostic.
If not then remove the hard drive and connect it to an USB hard drive adapter and plug it into a working computer's USB port.
If this computer see it as an external hard drive and you can view the contents of the drive then it is OK and the fault is the disk controller on the laptop.
To setup XP.
You insert the Windows CD and boot up the laptop with the CD.
You have done this correctly to get the hard disk error message.

You could setup a dual boot system, this requires a fairly large hard disk and you need installation XP and Vista CDs.
The other option is to install XP only on your hard disk.

You have to buy a new modem

Try installing without the wizard.

if you explore the cd there are folders with different languages.

Select english, then the type of device, then the operating system.

There should then be a setup that you can directly run without the wizard.
