sorry u r right that should be laptop.but i dont have any option for changing sata/ide in vista.i only have the option to disable the hdd.i did it but after that setup formatted the drive but after restarting the problem still exists.
admin please change the title.it should be laptop instead of vista

Hi Shahriar.

XP does not have SATA drivers by default. Your laptop needs that.

I faced the same problem once. I made a XP ( sp3 integrated ) with SATA drivers. You can do it yourself or get it from me.

Here is a tutorial you can follow -- Link

Just follow this guide exactly and you will be able to install XP into ANY Laptop/Notebook you want:

1. First make a folder named XP in your C drive and copy everything from XP Setup CD to C:\XP

You can use the I386 folder which came with your Recovery CD or in your C Drive as a Backup. If you just replace the I386 folder from the setup CD with your I386 folder of your Recovery CD or the one which came as a backup with your Laptop, you will be able to use the exact Serial Number that came with your Laptop AND you will be able to use Automatic Updates.

2. Then download DriverPack MassStorage & DriverPacks BASE

3. Run DPs_BASE_8124.exe and extract to C:\DriverPacks BASE 8.12.4

4. Copy DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_901.7z to the C:\DriverPacks BASE 8.12.4\DriverPacks\ folder.






5. Run DPs_BASE.exe from C:\DriverPacks BASE 8.12.4\ and click the > button 2 times and browse to C:\XP





6. Select "Disc" from the Installation platform and click the > button 1 time.


7.Then check DriverPack MassStorage 9.01 & DriverPack MassStorage text mode.





8. Then click the > button 8 times and when you reach the Overview of Settings page click on Slipstream button.

9. When Finished exit DPs_BASE.exe.

10.Your SATA drivers have been integrated to your XP Setup CD. It will be good for you if you use the I386 folder from your Recovery CD which came with your Laptop. Or you can use the I386 folder which came as a backup in your C:\ Drive. BUT YOU MUST DO IT BEFORE USING DPs_BASE.exe.



11. Now download Nlite and install nLite-1.4.9.1.installer.exe and run nlite.

12. Click Next and Browse to C:\XP and again click Next 2 times.Then select "Bootable ISO" and click Next.





13.Then click on "Make ISO" select a folder to save the WinLite.iso and click Save.






14.After the ISO making is finished open the WinLite.iso with Nero and burn it to a CD.

I CAN GUARANTEE THAT THIS CD WILL WORK ON YOUR LAPTOP/NOTEBOOK & MOST OF THE LAPTOPS FOUND IN THE MARKET.

TO FIND OUT XP CD-KEY LOOK FOR A STICKER IN YOUR LAPTOP/NOTEBOOK.

IF THERE IS NO STICKER IN YOUR LAPTOP USE Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder OR FROM HERE. TO FIND YOUR CD-KEY.

REMEMBER YOUR ORIGINAL CD-KEY THAT CAME WITH YOURLAPTOP WILL ONLY WORK WITH THE I386 FOLDER OF YOUR RECOVERY CD OR THE ONE WHICH CAME AS A BACKUP IN YOUR C DRIVE USUALLY.

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.
