Problem for PC Laptops

Generic problem for all PC Laptops

Downgrade to XP Toshiba L305

By hugov on Oct 07, 2008

" "

Pls help me to find SATA drives to be integrated on XP Installation CD.
I already formatted Hard disk by changing the SATA to "Compatible". But the embedded Ethernet is now lost (impossible to install because of the BIOS don't use the SATA mode)
If I change to SATA mode, then I can't boot.
Thanks for your help and time,

Hugo
