    1stly, it's not your laptop's fault, it's XP's.
    2ndly, recent Linux distros should automatically recognize SATA drives, therefore no problems. (See #3)

    3rdly, I think that what's happening is your hard drive isn't being recognized, likely due to it being a SATA drive. What you need to do is go to your motherboard manufacturer's website (use CPUZ and look under mainboard if you're unsure about manufacturer and/or model) and download the driver(s) which correspond to it. Then use nLite to create and slipstream those drivers into a new installation disc. Check out their site or just google around if you need help with the procedure of making a disc.

    use nlite to slipstream your windows installer cd + sata drivers
