Install XP on pre-installed Vista

by aphis_fabae . Updated 18 years, 9 months ago

Guys,
I have failed to install another OS (XP) on my laptop which came with pre-installed Windows Vista. I have able to make another partition through your directions, but when i boot my lapto using Windows XP CD it copies the required files but when i press ENTER to install Windows XP the message appears that ” Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer and that any disk related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacture supplied diagnostic or setup program. Setup cannot continue. To quit setup, press F3.” Please note I have C: drive installed windows vista on it, i have drive D: files are available for recovery disk pre-installed by the windows vista or manufacturer. My lapto is SONY VAIO FZ. Please advise how to install another operating system on this computer.
Thanks Ray
