If you purchase a latest laptop their is a big possibility that you can't install windows XP on them. The XP setup program doesn't recognize the hard drive on the laptop. Some people may think why I need to install XP on my new laptop. Because Microsoft released two of their operating systems after windows XP. But still lot of people preferred to have windows XP on their computers. Let's go to our problem once again. The reason for this is Windows XP CD doesn't contain the SATA drivers for your laptops hard drive. There is a option on windows setup that you can load these drivers but unfortunately it requires floppy disks. No one uses them any more so we have to find an other way to solve this problem.
