Hello,

Question 1:

Is it possible for you to reach the partition level?

If yes, pls, delete the partition and create a new one.

Had the same issue, had to use a program called n-lite to add the notebook's sata drivers onto the windows disk image, then reburn the disk. This will allow XP to see the sata drive. Even the floppy drive method didn't work for me.

There are a few resources on how to add drivers, update service packs, even patches, to a windows install CD so you don't have to do all of it after you install.
