Hey I just got my final piece for my computer but when I try to install Windows XP pro with SP1 it says theres no Hard drive on my comp but my mobo sees it and reconizez the brand...wat now
 
hmm... Not entirely sure.

Go into Bios (pres del usually at bootup)

Go into the first one I think it is usually, and find where it says 1st boot device, 2nd boot device etc.

On 1st boot device, this is obviously set to cd rom to read the windows disc. Make sure the 2nd boot device is set to the hard drive...
Then just save and exit

I dont' know if this is what may be causing it, but it's worth a try

Is it an SATA hard drive? because you may need to install the raid driver that came with your mobo(probably a floppy that says raid drivers) for the windows xp install, but thats only if its SATA. that could be the reason your mobo and bios can find it but not XP.
