The problem is that XPinstallation CD does not have a SATA driver, unless you have a SATA drive on adisk etc. and can install the driver when XP asks for a hard drive driver then,XP cannot detect the hard disk and therefore won't install XP. The FIX. Go into the BIOS anddisable the SATA drive, this will make XP think it is a IDE/PATA hard disk.Then install XP normally. After Windows XP is installed then install all the device drivers (including the SATAdriver), then shut down and boot up and got into the BIOS and enable the SATAdrive.
