The problems when try to downgrade Vista to Xp in HP Pavilion a6244n Desktop PC is no HDD not detected. what you need to do is:
When you boot into the BIOS, you can change the HD controller from SATA to
IDE. Even though you have a SATA hard drive in your system, it will work
with no need to load drivers by pressing F6.
