This petition is to persuade HP to create an option in the HP DV5x series laptop BIOS to enable Legacy SATA mode/Disable AHCI to enable easy installation of windows xp.
I really never imagined this many people were still struggling with the same drive compatibility issues on these old machines. It is truly humbling to see that this frustration is shared by so many and I am genuinely grateful that you have all decided to get involved.

Ridiculous that I have to fight my own hardware just to use the OS I want. Please release an update to unlock this setting.

My older software wont run on 7 or 10. Just let us flick the switch in the bios and get on with it. So annoying.
