Change the hdd type from sata to ide. Change the hdd type from sata to ide. The only way to install XP over Vista is to first format the hard drive, thus removing all traces of Vista and clearing the HDD of any information that may cause a conflict. Once formatted, XP SHOULD install as it would on any new system. Alternatively, buy an Apple Mac and save yourself the trouble of continually upgrading a windows based PC just to line the pockets of Microsoft :)
How do you run xp on one hdd and vista on a second hdd?
Install XP first. Then install Vista on the second drive. When the Vista installer sees that this is a second OS, it will automatically set up dual booting. When you boot the computer, you will be given a choice as to which OS to boot into. Before even starting, ensure the computer is compatible with bot OSes and ensure that you have the proper drivers for both OSes.

I want to install windows xp in to sata hard disk but when you are trying to install xp it saying no hard disk found?
This is a common problem with first time Sata HDD users. Don't worry see carefully in your Motherboard you have 4 slots where you can plug the 'RED' cable of the HDD. Try plugging it in each of the slot, it works if you try again and again. If all fail just pull out all the cables of HDD wipe them clean and try again. P.S. - check for scribbling noise from the HDD if its there go replace it at once they wount charge you (if its under warrenty!). GRat There might be a problem of drivers. Windows XP does not include the SATA drivers but during setup you can provide additional drivers using a floppy disk. There is also a trick that allows you to integrate the SATA driver on your install CD using nLite Serge
HDD not detected by BIOS but can be seen by XP install disc?
Ok so I have two small HDD's of a friends that wont be detected by BIOS in any of the three computers in my house, when I go to install XP on the discs it picks them up and prepares the installation copying all the files over, then when it comes for the restart and to go into set up HDD is still not picked up by BIOS and thus can not continue. Jumpers are fine, this happens to two HDD's both from different computers, one used to have XP on it the other has just been a slave drive. It happens in three computers and when ever I use any of the other HDD's I have it works fine. Jumpers are fine and cables are sweet if you need any further information just ask, Thanks in advance
