I have a DV3 Pavilion 1073cl he has locked the BIOS for Windows Vista and XP does not install at all!
Already integrated the SATA drivers on the installation disk for nLite from several different builds of XP. is there a solution to install XP?
there is no option in bios to switch to IDE mode.

Can you enter the BIOS? If so set the hard drive mode from ACHI to IDE...

I see, you have slipstreamed the correct driver?.. Also what error messages are you getting? If it cannot see any hard drive, you have probably got the wrong driver. If you get any other issues, the motherboard or some device is not supported by XP and will stop it there (usually an ACPI issue)...

the drivers are correct, I found them in the forums, simply do not find anything to work. I downloaded several drivers but also to no avail, the only thing not tried yet been through because I have no floppy drive USB floppy.
