    Does anyone know which feature must be changed in Bios to install Windows XP on HP A205-S5880 because i didn't find anything like SATA operation as in Dell notebooks.

    Are you sure thats an HP? Looks like a Toshiba Satellite. in any case some notebooks wont have an option to disable SATA in the bios in which case you"ll need to slipstream the SATA drivers on to your XP disc and then install.
