    hello, i am getting problem when i am trying to install windows xp pro on my laptop... for some reason it says setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. But when i go on my BIOS i see the hard disk is there... My laptop is a LG P1PRO Express Dual. the hard drive on it is the manifacture one a toshiba mhv2100bh 100gb SATA.... I do not have any cd anymore with my laptop ive lost all of them, i tryed to find driver or something on toshiba site for the hard drive, there is nothing... i tryed to find something on lg site, there is nothing... I tryed the hard drive on my desktop computer i tryed install windows xp on it, and it went sucessfully... i only copied file from cd, when it was time to reboot i just closed computer and put the hard disk on my laptop... i retryed to boot on windows, i see the windows loading screen, but 3 sec after i see blue screen saying i got virus or something... btw this mean its not the hard drive broken... anyone have any idea on what`s wrong

    Before you start, have the driver(s) for your mobo SATA (usually RAID) controller on a floppy disk. When install begins watch the white bottom line and hit F6 when asked. Then it will load files for a while and finally ask you for the driver(s).

    This driver should be available from Toshiba, but you may have to ask for help there if you can't find it.
