Hi, have a look at IT Resource Center forums - How to downgrade from Vista to XP? .

It seams that you have to disable SATA native mode in the BIOS before this can work.

You can find all the XP drivers at HP 530 Notebook PC - Download drivers and software - HP Business Support Center

I hope this is of some help.

Yeah, You need to go into BIOS and disable the Hard Drive interface SATA, and make it ATA.
