hi there is a way of doing this but its a bit of a pain, you will have to create a customized windows xp disk which is quite involved, i had the same problem as i have a new laptop and it had vista on it but i preferred xp you have to get a program called nLite that you can create a image file of the original windows cd and then add your laptop specific drivers for the sata controller as i gather this is not a very old laptop such as mine, windows xp does not recognizesata drives as boot drives, you can download your drivers from gigabyte and insert them into the windows disk image, there is comprhensive instructions in nLite on how to do this, and it is quite simple even for someone with hardly any computer knowledge....hope this helps

I'm not sure that 845 is the right identification for that motherboard, but Gigabyte has a terrific site for downloading HERE. You will need to answer a few questions about the motherboard but I'm sure you'll find what your looking for.
