Set the SATA mode to IDE as XP doesn't support SATA natively.
Make sure HP supports Windows XP on your EliteBook model before installing it, otherwise you'll struggle to find drivers that work.

windows xp don't have ahci or raid native support and that has to be installed during the install process

no big deal just use ide I still do today on all my computers for its compatibility [platter drives]
also if your using a ssd that may be of issue with using xp as well ssd may require ahci ??
