Unable to install Win XP on Z470

[amacatan]

I am unable to install Windows XP without having any device driver problem (especially HD Audio and PCI Controller). I have downloaded all of the drivers for Windows XP in this website and installed them but still no luck. I have updated my Windows XP with the latest updates. Please help.

I have even tried the Lenovo Smart Downloading but it could not also find the appropriate drivers for the above devices.

when i want to install the VGA, the lenovo consumersupport no NVIDIA VGA driver for windows xp, only the intel HD Graphics.
I tried to find its drivers on the Nvidia site, I get the drivers: 275.33-desktop-winxp-32bit-bahasa-WHQL. But when I try to install, there is the inscription: did not find its hardware.
Tell me the link to download the NVIDIA GeForce 520M Video driver Windows XP for my laptop Z470.

( try this : http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/uk/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_4981.html )

Yes, Here attached the nvidia and intel stickers I3.

I've downloaded 3 drivers from nvidia site:
1. 275.33-desktop-winxp-32bit-english-whql
2. 270.61-desktop-winxp-32bit-english-whql
3. 268.03-desktop-winxp-32bit-international-whql

all three said:
The device software could not find the hardware support ..

when I look in the BIOS, there is a Nvidia GeForce GT 520M ...
but when i try to install VGA driver:
Intel Onboard Graphics Driver - IN2VDO47WW1
Video driver who was from his lenovo site, could be to install, but I see in "Device Manager" still no video controller (VGA Compatible) who have not installed .. (At first there are 2 Video Controller, after installing the Intel onboard graphics, there's a video driver who is not already installed).

this BIOS for my lenovo :

Product Name : IdeaPad Z470

Bios Version : 4ACN26WW

EC VERSION : 4AEC23WW

Nvidia VBIOS Ver : Nvidia 70.08.46.00.08

Intel VBIOS Ver : Intel 2089
