Mr Ralsvy, u seem not to understand my sentence, from ur contribution it shows u are the theoritical type.
To explain further drivers or softwares for devices installed on a computer system would have to runned on a platform and that platform is windows. Windows vista and windows xp are the two platform having this issue of drivers, with these there exist different drivers for these devices like vga card,sound card,modem etc.
That is to say vga driver for vista is different from vga driver for xp.

The advice i have for u is
1. tap it with you hand a little if the doesnt work then
2. Freeze it in a refrigerator, sound funny but it works, i have tried it before but make show u wrap it well to avoid moisture from getting in the circuit board
this will make the harddisk function for a while, during this time u can backup ur information.

What u need to do is first, go to the bios setup and check for SATA settings and disable it. With this done u can install XP. The problem is u might not have the option of booting to windows vista at startup if u want it that way too and u would need to install the required drivers that u can use on XP environment from the internet,which can be accessed from ur laptop manufacturer site.
