Hi, @dev0xz02
Windows XP does not have the AMD SATA AHCI controller drivers it needs to find the hard drive.
You need to slipstream the AMD SATA controller driver into your XP installation media in order to install WXP.
I have zipped up and attached the WXP SATA AHCI controller drivers you need to install Windows XP below as well as the instructions for how to slipstream the drivers.
The instructions are for Intel chipsets but just use the files I attached and slipstream that folder using the same instructions.
If you manage to install XP, you will run into insurmountable problems because hardly any of your notebook's hardware will have drivers for Windows XP.
In other words...no wifi, and no graphics to name two off the top of my head.

Hello @dev0xz02
HP 15-g007sr Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR):
HP supports only drivers for Windows 7, 8 and 10.
I would advise you not to install windows xp ?
Question: Why do you want to install the old and unsecure windows xp ?

Thank you for respond, Ub6424.
I know that HP right now supports W7, W8 & W8.1, W10 and W11, but not WXP.
Maybe you should'nt to advise me to not install WXP.
Answer for your question: I want to install WXP to my notebook because I'm dont wanna use W8.1 or W10 or smth like that.

Hello @dev0xz02
If you are classic (offline) gamer/developer you're fine with xp, but if you are going online with xp, this is really unsecure...
I hope your setup will be fine with the great help of @Paul_Tikkanen
Good luck

You're very welcome.
I will try and help you find XP drivers for some of the hardware, but depending on what model Wi-Fi adapter it has, there may not be any XP driver for it.
Should be drivers for the audio, SD card reader and ethernet adapter.
There are no XP drivers for the graphics and that would be a showstopper for me.

Maybe you should consider installing Ubuntu on your notebook.
