sata drivers most likely. guessing the laptop came with vista and your using the recovery cd's to install vista which would have the sata drivers on it.

using a generic XP cd will not have those drivers on it and you would need to go to fujitsu's website and see about downloading either the sata drivers or the raid controller driver (sata controller basically). make a floppy disk (hopefully you have an external floppy drive for this part).

then load win XP and hit F6 when it prompts to load a 3rd party driver, with the floppy in the disk drive and you should be all set.
