Hello,
my Toshiba Laptop was designed for Win XP and I upgraded to Win Vista but some drivers were not compatible with it, when i tried to reinstall to Win XP my hard disk cannot be detected by Windows setup.
i read from some where to go bios setup and disable SATA drivers by pressing F2 but my computer does not support F2 for bios entrance, and i tried some other keys, my question is how can I reinstall XP and go to bios setup if to disable SATA

you are wrong my friend
you must go in BIOS ok
try pressing F8 when F2 do not work
then go to IDE controllers configuration and change to the compatible with XP
