Do you have a link for that model? If an older model like a 939 or P4 you most like need to create a driver disk you can access while booting with the XP installation cd. Or you have to go into "special devices" and choose the chipset in order to see the XP installer actually detect the drives installed.

On two different 939 desktops not portables one needed a driver floppy(nFoce chipset) while the other needed a review and selection of the chipset from a list(VIA) so the installer could see the drive in each. Review the manual or support site on installing the OS to see what they say there too.
