    hi all

    im hoping someone can help me.
    i have a CF-19 and i reloaded win xp on it and i was updating the drivers as i lost my disks, i downloaded a hole host of stuff and one thing was a bios update, without realising i ran the update and restarted

    now all that happens is that the laptop starts up goes to the windows xp screen then blue screen and loops around and does it again
    i tried to rebuil windows but it says it can not see the Hard Disk

    can anybody help as i have no idea how to fix this issue :confused:

    There is 2 different bios updates
    they are updated from windows
    one for vista
    the other for xp

    I suppose that xp can't see your sata hard drive
    (vista will see it)

    Whats the exact model # of your cf-19 ?
    And what coa do you have ?

    Thank you for all your help
    it was what you said the driver for the sata drives was not installed for xp

    i downloaded the correct driver and made a usb pen bootable and then reinstalled xp and pressed F6 to install 3rd party drive and loaded on the driver
    worked like a dream thank you for all your help
