    Hi
    im am desperate because i am trying to instal xp instead a vista on toschiba A200 1n7 notebook and it doesnt work because it doesnt recognize HDD.

    I also tried to change it in BIOS but there isnt the possibility to do it.
    I also tried tro burn an integrated disc with SATA drivers but it doesnt boot.
    And since i have nowhere to put floppy disc i dont know what to do anymore.
    Please help.

    If you have the hard drive drivers burn them onto a cd.
    Then when you boot off the xp cd you get the choice to press F6 (I think) to load drivers. Press whatever it is and carry on untill it asks you for the driver disk.You can then take out the xp cd, put in you driver disk on load the drivers. Then put the xp cd back in and carry on.
    hth.
