Need help with clean install

Ron

I'm in the middle of installing XP Home on a bare SATA drive, have
entered the SIIG driver from their Website (pressed F6) and reach the
partitioning screen. At this point, Setup says "there is no disk in the
drive" and shows the drive as
"157066MB disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on si3112 (MBR)." It will let me
create a partition, then says "this disk does not contain a Windows
XP-compatible partition" and stalls progress at that point. A few days
ago I was using this drive for backup files in my system, then wiped it
clean for this install. I'm entering the same controller driver in
Setup as I used to install the drive originally. SCSI/ATA100 is enabled
in the BIOS and no other hard drives are connected. Why isn't the drive
recognized?
