    I have an Asus F3SC that has Vista home premium at the moment but what I want to do is dual boot between that and XP or just get rid of Vista and go back to XP.My problem is that with the XP oem edition I have just purchased is that when I use it to boot off of it says my machine has no hard drive installed.Are these machine bios locked to one kind of operating system or am I just being a plank.Thanks for any help on this subject.

    You need to slipstream SATA drivers. Search the forum for a guide.
