Probably there is no driver for the hard drive or controller. Find out
the manufacturer and download/provide the driver in the beginning of the
install.

Hi Pedro,
Are you installing Wins XP as Clean Installation or what did you select when
you represented with Menu,do you have any Avs,if you have you should disable
it before the installation.
Please write to the group with more Info.

It may be that WinXP doesn't have a good driver for the IDE/SATA
controller built-in. Very early in the boot process, just after having
booted from the WinXP CD, the screen will display the words to the
effect: "Setup is examining your system." Press <F6> when this happens,
and have the *manufacturer's* WinXP-specific drivers for your IDE/SATA
controller available on a floppy disk.
