    Hi, I have sony vaio VGN-AR21M here with XP Media Center.
    Hard drive is: fujitsu MHV2160BT sata
    When I am trying to install XP Pro. Shows that didnt find hard drive.
    I used Floppy drive with drivers, tryed lots of SATA drivers, original from sony vaio and different one, even RAID [?]
    I create XP installation disk with drivers included and nothing.
    There is no BIOS setting to disable AHCI.
    Recovery Partition was deleted so its nothing on it.
    Windows is fine and its working.
    But I need XP PRO !!
    Anyone Please Help me.

    Maybe someone has special drivers for this ?
    Maybe something, anything...

    Greetings... from another planet of imagination...

    Hi,

    You can use "win driver ghost" or "double driver" (freeware) or "driver genius" or "drivermax"
