    Are you using an original, retail XP CD?

    If so, tell us the exact steps you are taking to install and what was on the system prior to this installation.

    Have you confirmed that the cables are connected to the HDD and controller securely?

    Check to make sure the jumpers on the drive are set properly (Slave/Cable Select/Master).

    Replace the HDD cable with a different one, put one of the drives into another system see if it works there (cannot see why 3 would go at the same time).

    Do not laugh watched some one forget to plug the power to a drive and then wonder why it no longer worked.

    Cheic the disk make sure it is not scratched so bad the drive cannot read it or the CD drive could be going or need to be cleaned.

    Try deleting the old partition, then create a new one and format.
