Reboot your system and hit F2
(the options are F2 for setup, F12 for boot sequence).
In the System Setup screen, do these steps.
Select Drives:
Make sure your Diskette Drive (3.5 floppy) is set properly (Usually set to Internal)
Make sure that "Drive 0: SATA-0" drive is set to "ON"
Go to "SATA Operation":
Your system set to "RAID Autodetect / AHCI"? - THIS SETTING CAUSES YOUR SYSTEM TO GO INTO AN IDE LOOP AND DOESN'T ALLOW IT TO FIND YOUR FACTORY INSTALLED SATA DRIVE.
CHANGE THE SATA OPERATION SETTING TO "COMBINATION"
Reboot - make sure that the boot sequence is set to CD rom before HD and make sure that the XP CD is in the drive.
