My problem began as one of multiple viruses.
(I was referred here from
http://forums.whatthetech.com/a_dozen_troj...778#entry483778
this thread)

Now when I am trying to reinstall xp, booting directly from the cd,
setup is not finding any hard drives.

I have two, both are functioning and visible in bios.

Hi buioch,

I did some research for you with several links found here and here.

Keep us posted and don't hesitate to ask more questions if need be.

kind regards,

Is your system a pre-built PC from say Dell or HP and such ? If yes, then the model # would help.

We need your system specs.

mainly, what type of Hard Drives you have, and what motherboard you have.

Also did the disks come with the PC, or did you buy them, and what service pack level the disks say on them (if any.)
[ I saw from your link you, have / had, XP Pro SP2.]

System is pre built Dell XPS Model WHL Manf. Date 051506
Details to follow.
But the only XP software I could find was XP Pro from my other computer. version 2002 with service pack 3

Hello,
Tallin gave you two good links with the information that you need.
The issue is that you have SATA hard drives.
Windows XP does not have the drivers for these SATA hard drives, so you have to load them manually.
The links give good instructions on how to do this.
