Hi,

If you already partitioned and formatted the drive with Vista, then you need
to remove these volumes and allow XP setup to do it. Also, if this is a sata
drive, then XP may require drivers from the motherboard manufacturer in
order to detect and install on it properly. Sata drives were not the norm
when XP was new, and it does not natively contain drivers for all makes.
