XP not recognized, won't boot

[Auminer]

XP home installation disk does not see the 120 G drive that XP is installed on, but shows the other two drives. I can read and write to it, see it in windows explorer (dual boot with 98SE), and partition magic sees it as does system commander. Bios sees it and it is set to "Auto", but it will not show "details" ie., head, sectors, cylinders, etc.
I've tried fixboot using the restore CD installation and boot.ini has the path. What gives??

Seems like a hardware issue especially if your BIOS cannot recognize it. Have you got the latest BIOS for your mobo? How is it set up ie on-board SATA? on-board IDE? Motherboard specifications? Do you have the correct storage device drivers (for either IDE/SATA/PCI controller card etc etc)?

Been up all night had to catch a few.

Got to agree there. It does label the drive, but no info there. I did physically unplug and replug the on board SATA connector (primary), no change. Running the A7N8X deluxe mobo 512 M, 2500 barton, I'm sure there is a newer Bios, but this isn't a new installation, been up for at least 6 mo. no problems. I haven't run "fixmbr" just "fixboot", think that would help? Seems like it should show in Bios first to do any good anyway.
