Hi maradet,

HDD is SATA disk and XP installation does not recognize that kind of HDD.

Hi maradet,

welcome to Club Vaio..

The Full instructions to downgrade an AR31M from Vista to XP Pro guide may help, use the following link to view the guide: Guide to downgrade an AR31M from Vista to XP

i saw that full instruction thalamus, but i'm a newbie and its to complicated for me.
