Hi wadud... i did some reading on your inquiry and i got some information that might be of help.

In the readings (XP support for SATA HDD) from the internet, XP can install even with SATA HDD. It is all dependent on the laptop hardware if BIOS release level of your laptop recognizes SATA drives. I suggest you update your BIOS level to current release and try installing XP again. Whatever the result, please do let us know.

what about that copy of xp you are installing with, is it a full retail version of xp or oem from another computer. If oem, it could be the problem.
