    Hi All,
    To make a long story short, how to install a North American
    (English)version of Windows XP on a laptop that currently has Danish
    version of Windows XP. Both OSes are legal copies. I tried the
    following and got this error.

    Insert the English Windows XP PRO and got the installation window and
    setup started copying the files (the very beginning portion) and then
    got this error message: "Setup did not find any hard disk drives
    installed in your computer. Make sure any hard disk drives are powered
    on and properly connected to your computer and that any disk related
    hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a
    manufacturer supplied diagnostic or setup program."

    Since the English XP didn't work; I used the Danish recovery disk and
    chosen the US as region during the setup and continued the setup but
    after the installation the language is still Danish.

    The BIOS is v02.57 American Megatrends, Inc. and the PC is Amilo M1437 Series.

    Thanks,
    Ehdison

    Look here. You're having an SATA configuration, so the drivers aren't included in XP setup.
