Downgrade From Windows Vista Home to Windows XP Pro Dutch on Satellite P200-15N

Question

Not knowing where I really should put this .. I put it in this forum part too :)
So :
Hello,
I bought a new laptop with Vista Home and two Partitions... I would like to install on the Second partition "Windows XP pro" (with official key & SP2 included) !! But when I run the XP Cd I get an error that the HD is not recognized ... So I searched on the forum here to see if there's a possibility to passby it..
So What I did :
1) I download the "Intel Storage Drivers" from ->
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName=Windows*+XP+Professional&lang=eng&strOSs= 44&submit=Go%21
2) Than I used the Floppy Maker, to make a floppy with the needed drivers (also on the above site)
3) I downloaded a freeware copy of "Nlite"
4) I also downloaded extra drivers from the "Toshiba" Website itself (Lan, Storage, ...)
5) I Made a map "Xp Pro P200-15N" and put all the drivers into it .. Including the Exe I downloaded from the above link Named "iata76_cd.exe"..
6) I made a new bootable Win XP CD with "Nlite" & added all the drivers I've downloaded and followed the given procedure by "Nlite". It made a new bootable CD (with all drivers and .exe's and .inf's, etc...)
7) Then I boot my laptop with the CD, but it still give an error on the sata-drives .. (that It can't be found) ..
So my question is .. What am i doing wrong and what other Drivers should I download to make it work ?? I've got an external USB-Floppy Drive.. If additional Drivers should be added ... So I hope there Is someone Ho can help it..
I install XP for business reasons .. Stuff that the Vista Home can't handle ...
Hope I got a respons soon .. Cz it's like really URGENT..
thx in advance and excuse me if there are errors in my writing (I still Am From Belgium )
*** UPDATE ***
The above method didn't work for me .. So took my USB-Floppy drive and put the drivers on it (hit "F6" on the startup, added the drivers found on the above link, he installed it)...
Then I was able too choose a partition ...
So far everything ok ... It asked me if wanted to format or not .. I said ok ..
Then When he wanted to start copying, I got :
Insert the CD-rom or Floppy with the name
Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver
In station A:
* Press ENTER when Ready ...
And know I don't know what I have to do .. Cz hitting enter doesn't do thing :s
So what Am I doing wrong it's getting really ANNOYING and frustrating ... I did everything they said in the link, did the method with f6, but still now reaction :s .. Anyone ???
Kindly Regards,
Frederic

Hi,
Knowing I went trough a lot of trouble installing my Windows XP on my P200, i'll show you how I did it :) (Cz you need the SATA drivers to have a good install)
1) First of all you need a legal copy of your "Windows XP" OS
2) Go to -> http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName=Windows*+XP+Professional&lang=eng&strOSs= 44&submit=Go%21 and download the drivers.
3) Download "nlite" and run the programm
4) Nlite will ask you to insert a working copy of "Windows XP", there after it'll ask you a folder where the new Updated XP should be installed (create one like "My P200 Win XP"..), then add only the driver that you need for you SATA drive and burn the new XP
5) Normally after that, you'll be able choosing a partition and install Windows XP together with "Vista"..
6) Install all the needed drivers on XP (don't worry if you can't choose your old VISTA)
7) After you installed, if you would like a "DUAL Boot" with Vista you have to install VistaBootPRO to install a correct Bootloader
8) After that go on VISTA and install "EASYbcd", you'll have to assign XP the correct Drive letter (you can change the name from "older version" to "windows XP".
9) Normally you'll be able booting XP and VISTA
But now, i'm still searching how to make my sound work ..
Sorry for my bad english :p I'm dutch-speaking
Hope this little tutorial will help some people who are having the same problems as I did
