    guys!

    i need to downgrade the vista-installed vgn-nr160e to win xp. when installing xp, it could not recognize HD because of SATA. i have no idea what key to access into BIOS to disable SATA. or if you guys know how to do the downgrade the other ways, teach me.

    thanks

    I haven't figured out how to get into the BIOS either
    F2/F10/Del didn't seem to do the trick
