To istall XP on Intel laptop with SATA hdd you have to provide the driver_either using a USB Floppy or my preferred method of slipstreaming the driver and burn a new XP cd.

This is the sata driver:

Download and run it,make a floppy OR cancel floppy creation.The files will be extracted to C:\Swsetup\sp37006 to use with Nlite.

You can use Nlite to integrate the drivers into a new XP install cd.Nlite will even burn the new XP cd.
Very easy really,just follow the guide below.

If you don't have XP with SP 2,install it before drivers:

XP drivers from V6700TX will work for your model. Install Intel Chipset Installation Utility for ICH8 first and reboot before other drivers.

(see below also before continuing with other drivers):

Don't use Mobile Intel 965 Graphics , you have Nvidia Graphics:

Some of the drivers above require .Net,MS UAA and Windows Installer 3.1 first.

MS UAA(required with a reboot before Realtek audio):

.Net Framework(before Quick Launch):
