Answer 1

Surname laptop?
Year of manufacture of the laptop?
What OS was it sold with?
What is the HDD mode in BIOS?
Is it necessary to throw the HDD controller drivers from a flash drive or floppy?
XP put so long ago the last time ... At least 5 years there was no need for it. Why do you need it? If the laptop does not pull 7-ku with installed SSD and 4G memory - such a laptop is in the trash.

Answer 2

No offense, but find someone who understands (more experienced) near you (friend or service). Believe me, solving such problems (or determining that it cannot be solved) by having your laptop in front of you and doing everything with your own hands is many, many times easier and faster than guessing on coffee grounds like this by correspondence. Here Andrey Ermachenok wrote you a bunch of questions, so this is probably not all that may be required. Again, no one knows what and how you install there.

Answer 3

put linux and don't worry,
if the laptop is so old, then the maximum from its use is only from a typewriter, maybe YouTube at 480p
