I formatted my computer. During the setup to install a new partition I restarted the computer because of a beeping noise and the download stopped. Now, I am at the Setup screen. A blue screen comes up and says hit Enter to install XP. After hitting XP, a message says "Setup didn't find any hard disk drives installed." What do I do?? Before, I was at the partitions screen and couldn't delete or create a partition.

Perhaps you need to install a SATA or RAID driver during the install process.

What model is your Dell computer?

Are you using the Dell CD's that came with the computer to do the reinstall?

That computer should have a Recovery Partition from which you can reinstall the operating system.
