XP On 250Gb Hd

WinXP Setup will not recognize either my 250gb HD nor my 320gb. In the field where I'm to choose the hard drive partition to install Xp, neither drive shows up. Only Vista is able to be installed which is kinda frustrating. (XP has installed fine on a 160gb Hd using the same MoBo) What settings in which field should I modify?
Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

Ah, that's what I thought. You don't happen to have a floppy drive installed, do you?
You'll need a driver disk for the XP installer. Yes, it must be a floppy disk. No fancy USB or CD drives allowed. Once you have the disk, boot the installer and press F6 (I think) when prompted for additional SCSI/RAID drivers.
