My BIOS successfully detect it. But I don't know how to install it on XP. I
heard I can use gpedit.msc but after that I don't know.

Installing a new hard drive has nothing to do with the Group Policy
Editor.

Assuming this is a second hard drive and you already have Windows
installed, go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer
Management>Disk Management. Do you see the new hard drive there? If so,
create a partition and format it. Or you could boot with the drive
mftr.'s utility and partition/format it outside of Windows. Then when
you boot into Windows, the new drive will appear.

Is this a second hard drive that you've added to your system
for storage?
If that's the case then take a look here,

Management

Bottom line is that you need to go into Disk Management and
partition and format your new drive. You can access Disk
Management through Start -> Run -> diskmgmt.msc -> Click OK.
