download sata drivers for your notebook and slipstream it into the win xp disk using nlite. It will work

security lock which u need to remove from BIOS settings but its so risky, one wrong setting and ur laptop will become a box . . .

Go to BIOS and find native SATA mode and enable it and then install XP. It will work fine
