Downgrading XP install error
We just got a thinkpad sl500 for my sisters birthday and Im trying to put windows xp on there. currently it is Vista home. When it is done inspecting my hardware and it says starting winows on the bottom, the next thing it shows is this message: Its not the CD because I do not get this on my computer, or in VMware. What is causing this?

It is, in all probability, a BIOS incompatibility with Windows XP. You can try updating the BIOS if possible, but more and more systems are being built to specifications that do not consider XP.

Everything seems to be working fine with it on compatibilty. What is the difference
Weird, I was going to update the bios but it says I have v1.19 bios version, while the site shows 1.18
