You need to get to a command prompt outside of one requiring the registry to see if you can repair the disk. Boot your original XP CD-ROM in the drive and it will have an option for that.

Tried that with original 6mo old hdd and new hard drive.

It ran thru some fies then said "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. ????
That is because you need a driver disk to get your HD's online - you have a non standard controller, like a RAID or so.
