hi ... what that u want to put xp on ur laptop .. of curse u need a xp for sata .. & the other way is if u check the bios option u will find an option that make u choose sata or ata .. change it ... thank u ... I hope that's is what u need
yeah i actually figured this one out a while ago and never really got around to posting the solution. well as you said i went into the bios and changed sata from disabled to compatibility. and that fixed it. kinda a dumb thing... and i stumbled upon the fix by complete fluke.
