My hard disk is not recognised when installing Windows XP?
You need to provide a hard disk controller driver by pressing F6 when Windows XP setup starts and insert the disk with the correct files on it. If the PC has a SATA (Serial ATA) controller then it may be possible to switch to IDE emulation mode in the BIOS so that Windows XP will recognise the hard disk. If you do not have a floppy drive, then you need to slipstream the drivers on to a custom Windows XP CD.
