Pre-Vista Laptop

Good Evening
I have an issue a toshiba satelite pro laptop that came with pre-vista installed.
I am trying to downgrade the OS to xp becoz the end user is not happy with vista but am failing to do so. After I boot the pc to CD, I receive setup cannot find any disk..error, same as when someone tries to to install xp on a SCSI HDD.

Any suggestions, I am sure some of you guys came over this as vista is not loved by many pc users including me, in speed wise etc.

Why would you double post after I answered your question?

You need the sata drivers for XP. You should be able to find them on toshbias site. There could also be a bios setting that you can turn off. I know on newer dells you can go set the sata in the bios to legacy and then xp will have the drivers that it needs.
