Is it an internal or external drive? And if the drive is not bootable, why are you installing XP onto it?
If there is already an OS on the PC, use Windows to format the drive. Or use the HDD manufacturers disk tools to format.
You may also want to delete the existing the partition, create a new partition, and then format (with any of the options noted above).
