No drive found while intalling XP
Im using Dimension 8400, while im trying to intall windows xp to a new sata HDD , after the windows setup im suppose to create/delete a partition... but instead of seing unpartitioned space... i am getting "no drive found" ... I reseated the cables and the DRIVE IS DETECTED in BIOS... I browsed on some forums regarding this prob and it seems that I should update my SATA driver which i dont know how to do... A resolution to this problem will be greatly appreciated.

If you are not using RAID, enter the system setup, scroll down to drives, press Enter or + to expand the drive menu then down to "SATA Operation", press Enter.
Change the SATA operation mode to "RAID Auto/ATA" press ESC to save and exit the BIOS.
Then XP should install without a problem.
