1. Boot Your Laptop
2. Press F10 to go to BIOS Setup
3. Go to System Configuration Tab
4. Go to Device Configurations
5. Disabled “SATA Native Mode”
6. F10 for save change & Exit
7. Boot your HP 520 with Windows XP CD in CDROM

Nice to be helpful!

hi guys

I have the same problem and figure out this problem after putting a lot of effort.

actually in BIOS there is no option like IMG said. so

U need third party compatibility support files/SCSI support files during your windows xp cd..

for this purpose
download the nlite software(helpful to made win XP bootable cd)

then download the DV6000 series related files from HP website include them while u made the win xp bootable CD through nLite s/w.............
