Dear Nazir virani

Thanks very very much
March 13th, 2009 08:44
You are not able to install the XP because –
1. The new generation laptops having new sata controllers.
2. At the time of installation, OS searches for hard disk, but due to new sata controllers, he is not able to mount your harddisk. (Vista and Ubuntu 8.10, supports new sata controller)
Solution –
You have to provide driver for new sata controller at the time of installation of XP.
Software NLITE will help you. Using NLITE you can burn an installation disk of your XP + new sata controller driver. Try to google more for NLITE.
But see your laptop manufacturer are providing other hardware driver support for XP, as that might the next thread from your side.

TO ALL WITH PROBLEM INSTALLING XP ON PRESARIO CQ40 SERIES…
Tell me I’m your angel…
I’ll give you a most comprehensive procedure on the “How to”
install WIN XP in CQ40 series of HP Presario.
Since this models come with SATA HDD which most XP
installers basically cannot detect, slipstreaming becomes
the immediate resource of us (frustrated to vista)…
Here’s how I did it to my CQ40-303AU which I gues will also work
in yours…
1. Copy your XP CD Content to your local drive…
2. Install nlite (downloadable free)
3. Download SATA Driver which in this case is given the link above.
4. Open Nlite, no activity is required in the presets, go directly to “Task Selection” and click “Drivers” straight to the ‘integrate’ tab and “Bootable ISO” straight to ‘create’ tab.
5. Insert a single driver. Here’s the cue, insert only the .inf of X86 SATA driver, DO NOT INCLUDE THE X64 since this will cause your XP installer to stop during installation.
6. Finish the modification and DO NOT FORGET to create .ISO image file if you are working on a pc without an optical device (CD-R or CD-RW and so on). If you have these device/s, you can directly burn the modified XP installer.
7. Install using the modified XP Installer.
Works fine for me, I am now using XP on my CQ40-303AU…
The drivers are listed above…

Please follow the tutorial from here http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=OS&message.id=6139
For those with amd chipset may look at this correction for the link above http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=OS&message.id=6139
the tips is do not use the same Windows XP FOLDER you created after unsuccesful installation progress. You have to start all over again by copying your Windows XP CD to a new folder.
Gud luck : )
