Hi friends, i had got a Dell Studio 15 Laptop some months ago and when i try to install Windows XP on it, it pops up some blue screen with some errot message saying X0100 or something blah blah and says in the below it is due to some software or hardware installation, i think it can't detected the hard drive or sata interface, is it right if so could anybody help me get those drivers, if no, please give me some solution, yep! thanks in advance.

I think it's the time to move on to Windows 7 and ditch XP.

However, you can try using a Windows XP SP3 CD if you were using a SP2 CD.

Dude I am using "Dell Studio 15 Laptop" XP-SP2-X86 works fine.
You just have to enable HDD lock in BIOS settings.
