   Urgent Request

   I'm working on a friend's computer.  It's a Dell inspiron 1720 notebook, and   
   the guy decided to get   
   rid of Vista, and put XP on the machine instead.  I have the machine with me,   
   and I need to try to   
   have the OS back on the machine my tomorrow morning.   
      
   When I start a Win XP Pro install, I get this error:   
      
   Setup did not find anyhHard disk drives installed on your computer.   
      
   Setup cannot continue.   
      
   The guy wiped the drive completely with Active KillDisk.   
      
   Can anyone give a pointer to the right direction?  I'vee run partition magic,   
   and it says that   
   there's an NTFS partition on the drive.   
      
   Clueless here...
