XP is not installing in SATA Hard disk drive Closed

Question

Hello, 
As of now i have windows 7. if i tried to install windows xp i am getting following error. 
Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. 

Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer - supplied diagnostic or setup program. 

Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3 

pls advice what i should do?

Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 6.0
