Just an update on my problem, I managed to get XP to recognise my hard drive. It turrned out I had to use NLite to install the SATA drivers into the XP installation files before XP could recognise my hard drive! I managed to get XP to install, but when it reboots for the first time, this appears.."Error loading operating system" Any ideas? Thanks.

Any ideas? My computer is new but I would've thought it would still be able to take XP? There was just one partition on the hard drive to begin with, and the size of the hard drive is 320 GB. Thanks for the help. |
New problem!! Computer keeps saying Disk Read Error, press Ctrl, Alt + Del. I've repaired the MBR with the Vista installation disk, many times, but still not working...help!
