this link has some people that seem to be having the same problem especially with not being able to disable sata on their laptops
Quote:
"Let me inform you that, there is no option to install Windows XP Professional in your notebook. Since, your notebook does not have the option to disable SATA in BIOS settings. Disabling SATA will allow the users to install XP in their notebooks. Also, all the notebooks which fall under dv6500, DV2500, DV9500 series models does not have option to install windows XP professional.
Additionally, your notebook is specially designed and bundled for Windows Vista Operating System. It is not recommend by HP to install Windows XP Professional on a Vista bundled notebook."

Windows 98 stayed on my computer a long time but after using XP for a while I realized why I should have switched earlier ;)
