Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.
The hard drive is detected with no problem in the BIOS and also on start up POST, able to boot up Linux Live CDs but the hard drive is just not being detected in Windows setup. When users try to install Windows XP, they encounter the problem of not being able to find any hard disk drives installed as if they weren’t connected.
We’ve seen this question posted in our forum many times, so thought we should write an article on this problem.
