Hi Patrick,

Please check the bios settings, and see if there are any kind of settings
you can adjust for the hard drive.  Maybe Windows XP cannot use something
called "AHCI" mode for the SATA hard drive.  If there is such a setting, set
it to compatibility mode (or something similar - maybe IDE mode).

Jim
