Does it show up on device manager?
If so, I've the same problem, running XP off an IDE drive, added an SATA drive which I can see on device manager but not on 'My computer'.
Attachment not found.

As posted by soupercomputer, it could be the problem.

Xp setup only has provision for a limited amount of SATA controllers.

When the OS disk boots, you need to hit F6 to specify drivers for your SATA controller. You will need a floppy disk to do this
