Dave,

Could it be that the laptop is fairly new and has a SATA hard drive? If so, that could be why your XP is not seeing the hdd. Check the BIOS and see if you can disable the SATA feature and force the hdd to run as an IDE drive.

There was another thread here recently, about an HP laptop, and performing this step did the trick.
