I ran into the same problem after wiping out my Compaq nc6320 and trying to install XP Pro. The fix is to disable SATA Native mode. To do this: Enter F10 Setup then System Configuration>Device Configurations>SATA Native Mode and disable it, save the changes and now you should be able to install XP Pro. Remember, when I did this the drive was blank, I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Best of luck! Bryan

Sounds like the hard drive may be having problems. Download this bootable CD and see if any of the hard drive utilities indicate anything. You may have to replace the hard drive or cable that connects the hard drive to the motherboard.

A wire within the dc power cord has broken near the laptop input jack. In cutting off the old plug I have found a white wire (the positive feed to the centre pin) and two red wires and a screen sheathing all when tested with the white wire give the correct 19 volts. The sheath and both red wires appear to have all been soldered together to the outer (neg) contact on the plug, Is this correct, the area of the two red wires together appears to equal that of the white wire so I am guessing that there is some advantage in having two thin wires rather than one thick. The adaptor was made by Delta Electronics inc
