Did you press the key (F6?) at the installer prompt and load the driver for your SATA controller?

It is very likely that XP cannot recognize the storage controller and use it for the installation drive.

On some motherboards, the SATA controller only supports a RAID configuration for booting. Even with just one drive, you need to enter the SATA BIOS and create a RAID array.
