    I hope someone can help me.
    I bought a new notebook and it has VISTA on it and I can't stand it.
    I have a XP 64 bit install CD but it will not recognize the hard drive.
    Does anyone know of a way to install XP on a puter like this.
    It dows not have the option to disable "native SATA" in the BIOS.
    I have been fighting with this for weeks now....Please Help....
