are you running 40 or 80 pin wires on the HD.
sounds stupid, but believe it or not, XP will not install on a 40 pin cable, because of the possibility of data corruption. I ran into this issue on an HP, and switching the IDE cable did the trick!
even if it is an 80 pin cable, try a different, known working one.
