The pre-installed Vista already has the driver for your SATA HDD but not XP CD. Someone suggests you go to BIOS Setup and change HDD type from SATA to IDE then you can install XP.

Goodluck,

hi,
this seems to be a hard drive issue.
when booting your computer, press F8 repeatedly and select safe mode with command prompt.
then type chkdsk/f to check the hard disk for errors.
else you will have to get the hard disk replaced and reinstall windows.
