Go to Boot Setup... Search for a Option "SATA Mode".. Normally it is kept in "AHCI", to install XP...change it to "IDE"

Now boot wid a XP CD.

Hello. Installing Windows XP on netbook E 1-572 G if I have problems.
As AHCI in the BIOS, it's just there and I can not change it.
Please guide and use. Thanks
