Unable to Install windows XP in Toshiba Satellite Laptop

Toshiba Satellite L300  comes with Vista preinstalled.
If you try to install XP then it say that it couldn't find a hard drive.

Here is the way to keep xp in your toshiba

Switch on the Laptop and then press F2 to get into the BIOS menu.
 Then go to the SATA option and change it from ACHI to Compatibility
then exit saving your changes (F10)

 and then reboot your Laptop from the XP Operating System disk.



It will now let you install Windows XP or any other Operating System.
