Please tell me something. I am trying to install XP but I always get this error when I insert the XP disc
0x0000007b (0x78d2524 0xc0000034 0x00000000 0x00000000)
Do you have any suggestions? Please tell me how did you install XP?

Thank you!

In BIOS you need to set your SATA drive to work in compatibility mode. You get that massage because XP has no SATA driver. If you set it in compatibility mode, XP will work properly.

I bought a toshiba notebook (Satellite pro L300) and I installed XP on it. I also have a problem with the sound, but in my case not only the sound quality is bad, but in every 3-4 seconds the sound stops like the processor was overloaded, but I don't run any programs except winamp.
Can anyone help?
