From what I read, TS tried to install XP on Vista partition without formatting. The Vista folders are locked with it's security features which is why he gets BSOD.

Well fren...I think u should check it 1st whether ur hdd is Ide or sata type..as per previous member advise..
If Sata ur must get the Sata driver 1st..then there is a step to do it..
If IDE type..maybe some of your hardware had problem..

My point of view, definitely SATA drivers.
Previously installed drivers in XP or Vista will not work in this DOS installation mode.

You'll need to get the correct SATA preinstall drivers and then
install the driver from floppy by pressing F5 during installation
or slipstream it into your XP installation using something like nLite.

There is a lot of work to do to unlock Vista folders. Use explorer and right click on Windows folder for the properties. Then

Security tab > Advanced > Owner tab > Edit > Other users or groups...

Type everyone and hit check names then click ok then apply. Then right click on Windows folder for the properties again and go to

Security tab > Advanced > Auditing > Add

Type everyone and hit check names then check Full Control and click ok.

Then right click on Windows folder for the properties for again and go

Security tab > Advanced > Permissions > Edit > Add

Type everyone and hit check names then check Full Control and click ok.

Then right click on Windows folder for the properties for the last time and go

Security tab > Edit > Add

Type everyone and hit check names then click ok. Click on full control and you are done with this folder.

Do the same thing for Program Files(don't forget Program Files (x86) if you install x64 edition), Documents and Settings and Users folder.

Edit: Don't do this for fun, it will compromise the security of your Windows

bro oledi did...but problem still appear at 1st post....haiz...

You have to delete those folders before you do a direct install of XP I guess. It's probably XP setup didn't replace the newer files that comes with Vista and couldn't run it properly or you can reformat since you already backup the data.

Personally I don't think it is a sata driver problem, if the windows couldn't found the hdd, the windows will state drive not found.

Windows can still detect a SATA drive even without a proper SATA driver but it assumes the drive in IDE/non-SATA mode (the default HDD detection mode in Windows XP since it could not provide a specific SATA driver.)

REinstalling XP from bios should work just fine.
I installed linux on my pc, got prob, wanted to reinstall xp but couldn't.
Then i tried installation from bios level, and it worked just fine.

Yes, because the PATA standard allows fallback to IDE/non-SATA mode. This fallback or IDE emulation (legacy) mode is detectable in Windows XP.

QUOTE

The standard interface for SATA controllers is Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), which allows advanced features of SATA such as hot plug and Native Command Queuing (NCQ). If AHCI is not enabled by the motherboard and chipset, SATA controllers typically operate in "IDE emulation" mode which does not allow features of devices to be accessed that are not supported by the ATA/IDE standard. Windows device drivers that are labeled as SATA are usually running in IDE emulation mode unless they explicitly state that they are AHCI. While the drivers included with Windows XP do not support AHCI, AHCI has been implemented by proprietary device drivers.[1] Windows Vista and the current versions of Mac OS X and Linux [1] have native support for AHCI.

QUOTE

Thus, for those owning older mainboards with SATA support an extra step is required while attempting to install Windows XP. Windows XP does not provide drivers for all the SATA controllers, therefore, during the installation procedure, the user must insert a floppy with the drivers that came in the package along with the motherboard.

bro, u said know the causus but you js stated sometime can get through sometime cant~

i think this is not a solution man

what are you trying to say here.I say this because I have two identical laptop with FreeDOS and both are factory configured default to run with SATA mode ON.I successfully installed XP in one without problem but the other laptop gave me the BSOD like what TS has and I found out it is because of the SATA MODE

You don't have anything to contribute please don't reply here cause its not helping anyone here
