I need help. I zero-ed out my HDD and I am attempting to re-install Windows XP Professional.
After the disk loads all of the initial files and tries to start XP, I get an error screen that says:
"Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.
Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program.
Setup cannot continue. To quit setup, press F3."
Needless to say, this is frustrating... especially because I KNOW there is a hard drive in the computer... the BIOS appears to be recognizing it, but XP setup thinks it is not present.
Does anyone have any clue why it would do that? I'd appreciate any help you can offer...
