Ok, so i have a windows vista home premium Sony VIAO laptop VGN-NR100 Series (That's all my papers say). I want to dual boot with Windows XP. I have a Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Upgrade. I've partitioned my hard drive for XP, only when I go to install it, It says that "SETUP CANNOT FIND ANY HARD DISKS". What can I do? I've read about SATA drives and stuff, but I dont know what to do. If u can, can u post a link for SATA drivers (if that's the problem). But please I really am trying to figure this out. I've been researching this for a while and i can't seem to get any further. Just tell me EXACTLY what to do, if u know, or give me an idea. Thanks.

XP doesn't support SATA Drives you need to install the SATA Driver for your NB and XP.

You need to make a Slipstreamed instal Disc here after you find a SATA Driver to suit your Sony. The easiest way to do this is with a program called nLite availabel free from here

Don't forget to read the Guides on the same Web Page to yell you how to use the application.
