You'll be needing to partition the drive.

If I can understand what you are saying is this
You used Seagte Sea Tools to do a what Low level format or a High level format with the tool?
When it was done you put it into your Desktop
Now you want to install Windows on this desktop
but when you do and it comes to the install screen it can not see this HDD on your desktop so the program stops and will not move forward
Is this right?
OK What MB are you using?
What is Your HDD SATA or IDE
Does your mother board support SATA with out a driver?
Reason asking is older mother boards did not and you had to make a diskette to do this one with and when first installing windows hit the F2 to put in this driver and move forward
What is the HDD set as inside the BIOS? If you mother board is way too old and you want to do this one and it is SATA and the Windows does not see it then you need to get a SATA to IDE connector and load windows this way.
Other wise there is something else in this one that you are not saying

Ann is right.
Most likely your motherboard does not ID the drive because you need to load SATA drivers during XP setup.
This is not a windows support forum, but i will give a quick tip:
Look for setting in your bios about SATA mode. Change from SATA (or AHCI) to IDE (or compatible).
That should do it. But this is not the right way. You must find appropriate drivers for the sata controller your motherboard is using and load them using a floppy at the right time by pressing f6 (if i remember correctly) during setup startup of xp.

He didn't. He also didn't tell a lot of other details.
I'm guessing.
