    You need to slipstream your SATA drivers and make your own Windows CD. Google nLite.

    Greg is saying that your windows xp disc doesn't have sata drivers, so it can't see your sata hdd.
    You can either disable sata native support in the bios or integrate sata drivers on to a xp cd.

    Your call.

    locate and download all the XP drivers you can locate for your system before you start....and burn them to a seperate CD

    it's kinda hard to get back to the internet without network adapter drivers installed ect...

    i would suggesgt starting at the HP site looking for XP drivers for your hardware... you may have to look at different models of laptops that shipped w/ XP to find XP drivers

    if no luck there,, then go to the manufacture sites
    like INTEL for chipset drivers
    realtek or your sound chip mfg for sound drivers
    same for Network adapters and other hardware

    good luck

    you might find drivers by asking in the HP forum...
