your system by default should come with windows 7 then why do you want to install XP.windows 7 is much better both in terms of security & ease of use compared to xp & i personally think using xp on a core i processor system is a waste of processor.as for your problem xp by default don't install on SATA hard disk(which all hard disks are now-a-days)unless your motherboard has the necessary sata controller which your laptop motherboard should have.go to BIOS setting by pressing F2 at startup.in setting go to advanced then sata mode & select IDE.save your changes,reboot & then use xp cd.
