Hi,
I'm going crazy with this issue and I cannot find any possible solutions. I hope someone in here can help me somehow.Let me explain what's my situation.
I have a SATA drive (WD 160GB) I had Windows XP installed on my machine until yesterday that I decided to try a beta version of Vista. Now, I want to get rid of Windows Vista and install XP again. However, when I insert my CD to boot, after it loads all the files,etc...It shows me this message

Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.
I know for sure that the drive is not damaged because I am able to boot Windows Vista and access everything on my PC. But I can't figure out why Windows XP boot loader does not see the SATA drive.
If anyone please is able to help, drop a reply.

Make sure any hard drives are powered on properly connected to your computer,and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct.This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program.
Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.
