Even if you do not install drivers, initial installation of Windows already installs the default drivers based on the computer used during the install. Of course when you move it to another computer (with a totally different motherboard, CPU...), Windows will need the drivers for that 'new' computer.

-- Try DBAN to format the drive either in the PC or there in the laptop. After formatting, try the install again. Btw, you say you find it impossible to format the drive in the laptop but you did not go into details why or what made you say that. The only thing I think is stalling you is the SATA driver. I think you are trying to downgrade to XP from Vista.
