Sounds like you need the controller card drivers and use the F6 method to
get those drivers installed early enough to allow Windows XP installer to
see and utilize the drives connected to said controller. Your problem may
come in where Windows XP may not be supported by HP on that model of
computer and thus - there are no Windows XP drivers for it.

- Find out if there are controller drivers from Windows XP for that model of
machine.
- Get them if they exist.
- Look into using the F6 meothod during installation (Google) or integrating
them into your Windows XP installation media (Google.)
