The SATA drive has some drivers that XP doesn't recognize. You'll have to have a driver disk and then use it during the first part of the install. This will solve the problem. If you don't have the drivers, you'll have to download them from the vendor website and put them on CD or floppy. When it doesn't find the HDD, there will be a choice to use a 3rd party driver disk.
