Why can't I find the Disk Fragmentation?

Windows Xp cant find hard disk drive and non system disk?

  • I have a hp compaq nc6220 and when i insert the windows xp install disc i click recovery console and install xp and they both get the error where the setup cant find the hard disk drive. if i dont start the computer up without the setup disc, it gives me a non system disk error. so im left with no recovery console help, no installation, no os. there is a website that tells me how to fix this problem but i dont know what drivers to put on the cd and so this is the link for my laptop, can you please tell me what drivers i have to put on the custom cd to make my computer working again? in the bios menu there is a naive setting or something like that where i could enable and disable it. The link for my computer is: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=447371 and the link where it tells me where to fix the problem is:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/resolving-setup-did-not-find-any-hard-disk-drives-during-windows-xp-installation/ i do not have a floppy disk.
