| Re: installing and partition new laptop hard drive I think u have a sata hdd drive mate. 2 things u can do to partition and install xp: 1 find your sata controller driver, press f6 while installing windows and insert a floppy ( bet u do not have a floppy) 2. Look a setting in bios where it says sata controller and the type where it says native.... change it. I dunno your exact bios but there is the place u have to look Than u can partition with windows as any regular hdd
