Hello,

Try this 1

Go to BIOS, look for the option SATA Mode and change it to IDE\ATA\Compatible

Mode and then try to install the windows xp. But there will be slight decrease in

the performance. Another way is to integrating the SATA drivers. For this let us

know your laptop model number and the processor brand name.

Good Luck
