Default Install XP: Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer


Hi,

i have problem when i try to install windows xp. i have laptop hp
parvilion dx6650us entertainment notbook pc, vista install on it but i
want to install windows xp.
when windows xp boot i got this message.

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 manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or
setup program. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

is there any solution so that i can install windows xp.

It sounds like you need the driver for the hard disk controller or to make a
change in the BIOS concerning the hard drive. Have you asked HP for
assistance?

Sheraz, did this work? I'm having the same problem with HP and trying
to overwrite Vista with XP.

Please remove all Virus s/w from the drive before you try to install a new
OS.

All new laptops/notebook PC come with a SATA hard drives which XP does not
look for and can't recognize. Check in CMOS if there is a setting to disable
SATA. If not you have to slipstream the laptop specific driver into XP.
Check nLite

He can supply the driver (F6 during early text phase in XP and Load Drivers
in Vista). He doesn't have to slipstream the driver although that is
sometimes a useful way to do it.

I would think that once he has it in a USB box, it loses it's PATA / SATA
identity. I've never had a problem just mounting them. But I did have to
do this:

I wish I could simply disable SATA in the bios but my bios does not
give me the option - I'll download nlite
