Dear suj


First you have to know that sometimes you can be able to continue with the ascend of a hard drive the only stage that you cant run away from it, it is the partition stage where it will demand the present of a hard drive, my advice to you is that it might happen that one of your cable is causing failer especially that one of a hard drive open your computer and replace the cable with the other one you know that is working

Dear suj

After doing that move to the POST(Power Self On Test) or maybe you might know it as BIOS settings to see the present of your Hard Drive

Joy,
I have had a similar problem. What you need to do is to install windows from a flash drive. There are many programs that can convert a CD or DVD version of Windows XP and allocate them to a flash drive. When setting the boot options from BIOS, make sure you set USB HARD DRIVE as your first drive loaded. Its pretty easy to do, many of the programs made to transfer Windows to a flash drive come with instructions. Good luck my friend!
