it is a hard thing to diagnose... if it works, glad to hear it!!!
XP has some odd quirks with sata drives, not reading partitions, or only reading the first partition. The only thing is to be persistent.
if all else fails, it can be a native mode issue. Enter your BIOS and find "SATA native settings" and make sure it is disabled... XP should atleast detect the drive properly this way.
