hmm maybe try a different cable on that drive, or a different drive on that cable.
For simplicities sake, lets call your hdd that doesn't show up in xp setup HDD0 and any other hdd in your system will be referred to as HDD1
If you try HDD1 on HDD0's cable, and it doesn't show up, then the problem is the cable. If you try HDD1 on that cable and it DOES show up, then the problem is the hard drive.
If you try a different cable on HDD0 and it works, it was the cable, if not, then HDD0 is failed.
