I have made a bootable XP disk which works perfectly on the Sony Vaio FZ11L. I then only to add the GeForce NVidia driver and the Audio Drive and I have a perfectly functioning XP operating system.

No worries. DON'T UNINSTALL XP. All you have to do is go into your BIOS and change your SATA settings. By default, it's probably set up to AHCI. Change it to IDE or ATA.

Viola! XP boots!

Hope that helps!
