Cannot format Lenovo Notebook to Windows XP

I have a Lenovo B430 notebook, which I'm trying to format to Windows XP SP3 Professional, 'cause of some driver problems in Windows 7.

The notebook boot the CD fine, but when try to show the screen where I choose how to format gives me this screen though:

You do understand the driver problem will likely exists with Windows XP also right? Looking at the BSOD in question it looks a hardware conflict. It looks like the hdd is to blame. Furthermore Lenovo B430 has drivers for Windows 8 which means, it very likely, the device DOES NOT support Windows XP and even comes with Windows 7 preinstalled. – Ramhound – 2012-10-26T13:20:48.943

Why don't you just solve the driver problem? – Ramhound – 2012-10-26T13:28:35.860

@Ramhound when you said that this device does not support Windows XP you mean that I cannot install it in this notebook ? Where did you get this info ? About the driver problem it would be very expensive, 'cause the software which is given me this trouble works only in XP. – Valter Silva – 2012-10-26T13:36:09.063

The solution to my problem was to set to compatibility mode the SATA drivers and set then back when finish my formatting.
