"Setup did not find any hard disk drives" during Windows XP Installation on Dell Laptops


Are you experience trouble installing Windows XP in your Dell Laptop?

Before you install XP, you must first configure a setting in BIOS else XP CD will not detect your hard disk

In BIOS:

Onboard Devices -> Flash Cache Module -> Set Off
Onboard Devices -> SATA Operation -> Set ATA

Ok, you can now proceed with installing Windows XP
