Hard drive not recognized w/XP install

I have been having trouble with my desktop and decided to just buy a new hard drive and reinstall windows. Well I am trying to do that and windows recognizes the HD when I begin the install b/c it shows as a partition, however when it comes to the first reboot in the installation it does not recognize the hard drive. It tries to boot from floppy and then cd and tells me to reboot and select proper boot device, but then it does not act like it recgnizes the new hard drive b/c it does not give me the option to select it. Any help would be appreciated, the desktop has been down for weeks now and I have been working on it as I have time, but it is really starting to get frustrating.

 

I got it to work. I had to go to default settings in my bios and that seems to have taken care of things for now. Thanks
