I knew this wouldn't be an easy job to do.

look:
SATA Mode is set to [ATA] now. It was in [AHCI] before. This didn't let me install XP before.

I upgrade my hard drive every time I get a new vaio (each year) and I have never had these issues, but I don't recall that I ever had a SATA drive on an XP machine, so sorry about that.
btw, did you see the "Acronis True Image WD Edition" listed on the page you linked to? might be useful to check out?

Jeez!
That pc was a Dell Vostro 220s. Could you get a print screen of your BIOS?

You need the drivers for the SATA controller on your motherboard not your hard drive.

So i need to find out what motherboard i have to locate its drivers.
Thanks for all your help guys, but i think this one is best left for someone else. I dont have another pc at home, so i would need to call at a mates to use his when i need to do something. Will call the IT girl tomorrow
