installing XP onto a second SATA hard drive

by ivor.burridge . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

My PC is running Vista. I have installed a second SATA hard drive. It shows in Device Manager as working properly. It shows in ‘my computer’, and it shows in Disk Management, so I am sure that it is properly installed.
I want to run XP on the new drive, copy all of my files, folders and programmes onto it and then get rid of Vista from my original drive. I hate Vista!
However, when I try to install XP from the CD, I get as far as pressing F8 to accept, then the screen does not show the new volume. It says that there is no disk in the drive! Anybody got any ideas please?
