    Well, that is a common problem with SATA drives. Most newer laptops comes with a sata hard drive ..so for u to see the drive from your XP installation disk, you will have to reconfigure the system BIOS to alllow ATA mode for the SATA operation. After you should be able to continue your installation ...OR you can press F6 button during hardware detection and manually load the SATA driver ( this may be difficult if your system has no floppy). If you need further assistance, for a nominal fee i will offer my services.

    Why are Nigerians fond of collecting money from every little help to fellow colleague.
    if oyinbo pple are like us there wouldnt be google or internet o. pls let us help each other for God sake.
    Young man, go to the setup of the system, change the HDD connection from SATA to IDE. the problem is that Window XP does not recognises SATA HDD connection.
    if you have any problem mail me on [email protected] or text me on 080322477.. later
