If XP was installed on another computer, then you put the drive in, you may have a problem. XP don't like that. Can you get into SETUP - BIOS, usually DEL key at the first screen.

If you can, each BIOS screen is different, go to the first menu item, maybe called Standard, see if the HARD Drive is listed. Also you may be able to auto detect it in BIOS. If BIOS recognizes the drive, usually the very first boot screen tell you what drive is installed.

If you make any changes then SAVE & EXIT.

You may want to set to SYSTEM DEFAULTS while your in there.

If this does not help then during the booting does the Hard Drive Light come on at all? This would be an indication that the power and ribbon cable are connected correctly.

"Insert the removable hard drive rack into the removable hard drive bay. Use the included keys to place the keylock in the “locked” position ." Did you do this???
