hi,what you do is firstly,u try to either download or get a software called NLITE.what it does is dat it incorporates two softwares 2geda.u copy ur XP cd in a folder,then you go online and try to download your hard disk driver,it might either be SATA OR IDE bt most likely SATA.u go 2 ur product website to d this.search for ur computer name,and thus the hard disk driver.once u download,u also copy it to a folder,then u use ur NLITE to concatenate the 2 softwares 2geda,and make them bootabele i.e (.ISO) format then burn that software to an empty cd,and use it to format the hard drive.GOD willing, u l get ur XP.

@tarkaa

Remember if your system ships in with an OS its becos the OS supports the systems hardware configure, dont install an OS that wont support your HARDWARE oh, u would have to start looking for hardware drivers after everything,

Why don't you visit the vendors web site and check for all of the drivers that will work with the OS you intend to install. if you can find them, then there is no problem.
The main ones to look for are the video, sound, modem and camera if there is one installed. XP SP2 is very good at detecting most of the other drivers.
Check the vendors site first.
