Choose to remove all partitions on the disk and start from scratch.

If we were rooted, you may want to follow the advice in the TR forums for getting rid of those. There have been several articles written on here by very knowledgeable individuals.

Some computer systems [b]Do Not[/b] natively support SATA HDD so you need to install the SATA Driver before you continue to install Windows.

With Windows XP you need to push the [b]F6 Key[/b] when the very first Blue Screen Appears and wait till you are prompted to Insert a Floppy Disc with the SATA Drivers for your Hardware and XP Copied to the Root of the Floppy into the A Drive and press Enter. This will load the SATA Drivers and allow you to complete the Windows Install.

If you do not have a Floppy Disc Drive you can make a Slipstreamed Install Disc and Include the SATA Drivers as well as your Sound Drivers by either following the directions in this TR Article

"in bios i cant see my hard drive"

A couple questions arise. When you say you did a low-level format, are you 100% sure the proper procedure was used to do a low level format? Did you format with the correct vendor software?

Assuming the low level format was properly done, when you install Windows (version???), you need to install your SATA drivers as well. When installing XP, during the text-mode phase of the setup process, Windows pauses briefly and prompts you to press F6. This option is displayed in the status line and lets you use an OEM mass storage controller driver.

Do a low level format with vendor software, install the SATA drivers and let us know if you still have any more problems.
Hope this helps.
