Your computer has a SATA hard drive. To install Windows Xp on it, your will have to Press "F6" when you start the installation process (You will get a prompt on the bottom of the screen to press F6 to install third party drivers). During this stage, you will need the SATA drivers on a floppy disk / CD.

To download the drivers, go to the following link.

Can we install XP version in vgn-cs12gh/b sony vaio laptop if possible how to install

Yes this is very easy, But first next time make sure you post in the right categories since a sony vaio is not a Mac Laptop,
First you will need a Windows Xp install CD/DVD, you can perchance one at your local retail shop.
You then insert the CD/DVD into you laptops disk drive and boot up, When the screen said, Boot from cd... press any key, wait until it has done its checks and follow the instructions, If all is well and you have done everything right, you will have successfully installed windows XP
