    If your PC has recently selected the compatibility mode for your IDE hard disk SATA options in the BIOS in order to install Windows XP on it. Setup Windows XP does not natively recognize the SATA hard disks, you must either use the compatibility mode either provide the SATA drivers on floppy, or have an installation CD that you created with nlitement containing drivers necessary.

    By changing IDE in the BIOS, everything is in order and I was able to install XP properly. Now, I will follow the tuto installation VistaBootPro.
