Are you using a SATA drive? What version of windows XP are you using? The ideal way is to install windows _first_ then Linux, so that the Linux installer will detect the presence of Windows, and modify the GRUB bootloader as necessary to allow you to dual boot between OSes.
If you are using Windows XP SP2, it might be probable that your SATA drive is not being detected and you may need to use a driver disc to load the third party SATA driver (pressing F6). It might also be possible that there's a problem with your Windows installer disc... probably some scratches here and there.
