I agree with clintfan.

Unplug your HD and connect it to the PRI_IDE1 (the blue slot) and use the upper connector of that cable for the connection CABLE-HD.

If necessary check your jumper config on the HD if it is set to Cable Select or Master.

Enter Bios, set to IDE mode, booting to CD - HD - floppy, save BIOS, exit, insert your XP CD and format your HD in setup.

Let us know if it worked.
