    Just bought this model, came with Vista Home Premium. The thing is I can't install XP PRO.

    After resizing a partition in Vista, and boot from CD, SETUP XP doesn't recognize any harddisk on my laptop. I believe it's because of this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314859/en-us

    But the only away around this seems to be using a floopy disk drive, which i dont have. I've tried to get into BIOS, but there's no option to change disk to automated ata. Anyone has any solution?
