Does the hard drive show up under the computer setup and does it have the right settings?
If so you may need a specific driver for the controller card in your system. Windows is going to want to install the driver as you do the setup. If you notice there is an option when setup first starts that says "Press <F6> to load third party drivers." You will need to download the drivers from your vendor and put them on a floppy disk (yes a floppy disk). Windows Xp will only load the drivers from a floppy unless you build your own installation cd with something like nlite.
