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.

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.
