Dear Sir,

Please check out if you have installed a genuine copy.

It is clear from what you are saying that the operating

system itself is faulty, i will therefore advise you to

uninstall it and reinstall a good copy.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, iveal actually this is not the case of a genuine copy of windows. Actually his compaq laptop is intergrated with SATA drivers for Vista and the problem using Xp is that the Software do not have any drivers for the SATA. IF u see during the process of installation u will find "Press F6 if u need to install SCSi or raid driver" during installation. So my suggestion is to use A Nlite Software will will add all the drivers for SCSI or RAid driver without the use of floopy drive.
