Download Damn Small Linux, which is only 50 mb, copy the ISO to a CD, boot with it and see if it find your hard drive. However, I think this may be a problem with your BIOS, either the hardware itself or bad settings, but still, try that first.


Well, then again, the poor guy(girl?) doesn't have a computer to use. Unless there's an old one he(she)'s using. But yes, download a copy of Linux (either DSL or Ubuntu) and try to run that. If it works, stick with it. Windows costs $200 anyway. Return that copy to them and shove it in their faces with a look on your face that says, "I don't need this, retards*! I've got Linux!"

*Just kidding. You might get sued for that. And by "retards" I mean "people behind on computer development".

Okay, what... this topic is 4 years old! This reply is outdated.

What you need to first do when you boot from your windows XP disk is install your motherboards SATA/raid controller off the motherboards provided floppy disk.

First of all check in the BIOS setting that the harddisk is detected, if it is detected do the following

Boot from the linux cd at the installation prompt just type the following code:

#linux pci=nommconf irqpoll all-generic-ide
