Windows xp found no hard drive error

Last week my friend frustrated with the experience of using vista decided to downgrade his hp notebook computer to xp.while installing he was stopped by "windows doesnt found any harddisk" error.he approached me for help.After searching i found a solution and a very interesting fact behind the error.XP doesnt have driver for SATA hard disk,which has to embedded in live cd to recognize the hard disk.The solution for this is to disable SATA native support in bios setting before the system starts to boot.The above setting will disable SATA support and now your hard drive will be recognized by xp.To use xp with SATA you have to embed the driver for your sata with xp live cd using softwares such as nLITE etc.Also another friend of mine told after updating vista it is stable.Anybody who visits my blog please leave a comment even i havent viewed my blog i m typing this through mobile with opera browser.Viewers discretions are invited.
