Laptop XP does not see hdd

Hi William,

Your instructions make total sense but my machine doesn't like them after 2nd step. I just got new Lenovo Y710 laptop, made partitions with Vista's disk management system as you advised, and got to run XP installation, (2nd step first xp setup screenshot you have posted) but then I'm getting the XP installation message that my computer doesn't have hdd installed and setup cannot continue. It just doesn't see hdd and there is C: vista partition - 30gb, D: 99gb F: - 48gb , and G - 48gb . D, F and G are empty. I assume it is about some Vista security block. Not sure does it mater but when I got computer I made one restore point. I read somewhere that might cause some dual boot problems.
Any advices?

Thanks a bunch,

Goran
