You won't void the warranty or anything like that though. When your computer is booting up, get into the BIOS menu. Look for something called Native SATA. I don't know which menu it's in though. This problem occured about 6 months ago, but if it is enabled then disable it. If it is disabled, then enable it.

Hope this works for you, it worked for me.
I disabled the Native SATA because it was enabled and Windows XP installed just fine. The only problem now is when it restarted my computer is is stuck on the Varifying Pool Data part and won't go any further.
