    Is the XP CD a legit CD from Microsoft?
    If the CD isn't a legit XP CD from Sony that is designed for that model then driver issues do indeed pop up after installation. How far into the installation do you get?

    Sorry, can't help unless you have the exact message and the exact moment that it appears during the install process.

    Nothing to do with legit/non legit cd

    Its sonys fault they made it hard for you to put your own version of windows on tons of people have this problem... there should be a cd with sata drivers that came with the laptop, when windows setup asks for you to press F6 do it and put the driver cd in and continue
