Vaio xl301 windows installation problem

[everythingretro2013]

Hi, managed to get my hands on a boxed xl301 model, after putting new hard drive in as the original one was shot, when I try to install windows it tells that windows cannot continue as there maybe a hardware or software change, so could anyone help me by telling me what sata port the dvd drive should be in and what sata port the hardrive should be connected to, 

please help

Hi

Here we have the official Sony engineer's service guide, hopefully the information you need will be inside.

Hope it helps...
