    Hey everyone, checked out the threads concerning XP downgrades from Vista and was able to get everything situated. Got my Windows XP Pro disc...mounted the SATA drivers using NLite etc.

    My problem came after Windows XP was done going through its first setup phase. After being partitioned and copying the files, windows xp said that it had completed the initial phase of startup and must restart. So i allowed it to restart. Upon restart after the HP logo screen it said...Press any key to boot from CD....Error loading operating system...and it stays on that black screen...

    Any possible solutions?

    Can't even run system recovery because it says cannot load operating system

    Issue solved after talking to a techie friend of mine :)
