Default Dual boot Vista/XP with Vista installed first

I did all the prep work (setup partitions, disk image backup) and was following instructions posted by William Wilson dated 04-18-2007 about dual boot setup.
When it came time to actually install XP onto partitioned drive, setup told me it couldn't find any hard drive. Dead in water.
System boots fine in Vista (both before and after this attempt).
Have Dell 1525 laptop w/ Intel Core2 duo cpu
250 Gb SATA hard drive
Vista SP1

How to get XP install procedure to recognize presence of hard drive?
