    I have a Toshiba Satellite X205 S9800 that came with Vista Home Premium. I find the Vista OS to be a pain and want to install XP Professional instead. I read a couple of posts that said XP installed and worked fine, but as soon as I get to the point of installation I get a message that says no hard drives can be detected. How do I get beyond this?
