Hey there,
Well my problem is that I cannot install windows xp actually on my computer. When I launch the installation and when it comes to the phase when it will detect my hard drive it will tell me that it cant detect any hard drive and though I have checked all the connections and a friend tried the hard drive on his pc yet it wont work, any idea please?

If you have a SATA hard disk, check your bios. If the 'Hard disk' mode is given as 'SATA', change it to 'Compatibility Mode'. Let me know if this works

Hi Jino

I took the advice you pasted here about changing the BIOS setting. I changed my settings (on the DELL Inspiron 1525) from 'AHCI to SATA' and I was then able to install Win XP.

Thanks for your assistance.
