This was one of the problem i had faced while installing WindowsXP on my bro's machine. He had bought a 400gb WDSATA Disk. His pc config was AMD ATHLON XP, with 1GB Ram and VIA chipset....for a solution i tried everything from changing the SATA cables to power supply.Finally I explored and found that there is a Raid Controller FDD, that needs to be installed. During installation of windows it will say 'Press F6 to install additional devices such raid' ...etc..
Press F6, then on the Next screen install the FD into the floppy Disk drive and press S, to specify the addtional device and then continue with the installation. Your SATA HDD will be detected.
i know many of you might know the solution, but still i have posted it, since there are guys out there looking for a solution.
