VGN-FZ38M No HDD Was Found...

[ccannabis]

Hello all!

Im trying to setup XP on my brand new Sony VAIO VGN-FZ38M. I have tried several solutions like Acronis Disk Director Suite and Windows XP's boot CD but Im keeping get the same error "No Hard Disk Device Found Try to Connect Some etc...". I looked up BIOS, becouse I saw some solution by changing ATA/SATA (or something like that) but there are nothing to change except BOOT devices numbers (what boots first SD, HDD, CDROM etc.). Im sick and tired of Vista, it is def the worst thing of this year. Any suggestions?


Thank you!

Sorry, I don't speak english good, I'm from Spain (Barcelona). I think, you can't install Windows XP on your Vaio because XP drivers not exist for our model, only for Vista. you can change Vista when the Vaio have Vista Business not Vista Home Premium. Why? I don't know.

Where I can find SATA drivers for FZ38M? How I should slipstream using nLite? Textmode or PNP?

P.S. There is no drivers for FZ38M on official FTP only for FZ29 can I use them?

Thanx again!
