Whenever a user attempts to install XP on a system pre-installed with Vista. The HDD inside your laptop is a SATA drive. Windows XP cannot 'see' a SATA hard drive, without having had SATA drivers installed as part of the Windows XP installation.

Google for [u]SATA drivers[/u] then reinstall XP, installing the SATA drivers at the appropriate time in the install.
