Under Bios, disable your on board devices and this is 100% guranteed to work...

Alright, so you were not fond of Vista and decided to install XP instead. Your problem here is that many newer PC's are designed to only work with windows vista, as windows XP doesn't have the appropriate drivers for the hardware, BIOS and the type of motherboard along with its subcomponets. In this case I think you should contact SONY and see if they have the right drivers for Windows XP. If they don't - well, you just have to stick to Vista until Windows 7 arrives. (I have been told that Windows 7 is going to be up to three times better than Vista).
