HDD not found?
I'm trying to downgrade my friends HP laptop from Vista to XP. When I boot from the disk it loads, but then when I hit enter to install it I get an error message saying the hardrive isn't found. Any clue what is wrong?

Re: HDD not found?
Before doing that make sure you can get xp drivers for the laptops
chipset, if you can and I would think you could, you should wipe the drive with killdisk, or bootandnuke. Then format and install xp.
