    There was no SATA drives when XP 1st came out so the vast majority of XP installation disks don't have SATA drivers included. In the early stages of the install XP asks if you have 3rd party hard drive controller drivers to install but it requires that you have a floppy drive to install them. If you don't have a floppy drive you will need to slipstream them on to a new XP installation disk:

    Good luck,
    Steve

    Edit: You will obviously need to get the correct SATA drivers for YOUR controller slipstreamed.

    Western digital wont provide any SATA drivers. The chipset manufacturer for the SATA controller on the motherboard provides the driver. Your should probably be ATi, check their website and slipstream the SATA drivers on to your XP disc.

    Here is an excerpt from a previous guide:

    1.Backup the c:\swsetup directory to a DVD while in Vista.
    2.Go here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Prod...=2973&lang=eng and select your XP OS version. Download the following software:
    -32-bit Floppy Configuration Utility
    -INF Update Utility - Primarily for Intel® 4, 3, 900 Series Chipsets
    -Intel Matrix Storage Manager (optional but recommended, see very bottom of post)
    -Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver if you have Intel Graphics (see step 8)
    3.Extract the 32-bit Floppy Configuration Utility zip file somewhere
    4.Use nLite to slipstream XP SP3 and the textmode SATA driver extracted from the above zip file into a new XP install. The SATA driver is located in iaAHCI.inf and is called ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
    5.Install XP

    The above works for sure. I just tested it last night. Insert the Text mode drivers and create the xp disc. Format and SCHBANG! I must warn you though that the ongoing sound issue is a major pain in the behind.

    AND! Hidey HO! Miner! Is there a particular place I could apply to be a mod? Maybe you could ask for me? Hopefully you remember me?

    The OP has the AMD/ATi version of the dv7 not Intel.

    to install xp you have to A) have a floppy with your hdd controller on it or B) slipstream your drivers into a os install disc download and install the following and find your chipset to know what driver to download

    http://www.lavalys.com/ download the ultimate edition

    i am running xp pro with sp3 on my dv7-1135nr but mine is ina dual boot configeration.

    it's not a problem. need to find out what your chipset is to get the driver i am almost willing to bet it is the same driver as mine. if it is i have that driver than i can send you

    i looked up your model and chipset. this is your raid controller driver download listed below.
