Dell XPS 400 New Hard Drive Help.

Hi all, I am needing some help. I just replaced my hard drive in my Dell XPS 400. Service Tag

I took the old drive out because it was bad. Replaced it with a new WD "Green" SATA 500gb drive.

I put my Windows XP disk in to my cd/dvd drive and booted to it. I then come to a scree that asks if I want to install Windows. I hit enter to install and a blue screencomes up and says "Windows was unable to locate a drive to install on, please press F3 to quit setup."

I went to the download drives to see if I needed to install some drivers or something but after I did a search for my computer using the service tag, I could not locate any "drivers" that I would need to my hard drive.

Can someone point me to the drivers I need to download? I take it that I will need to in stall some raid drivers or something. But don't know what I need for sure.

Also, the bio's does see the new drive on the system.
