When I run the installation CD I get the following error
message: Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed
in your computer. Yet when I start the server up both
hard drives are listed. What might I be overlooking?
 
You didn't mention the drive controller (possibly SCSI, or ultra DMA, or
ATA100, or raid, or serial ATA), but you may need to boot the Windows 2000
setup disks or CD-Rom and *F6* very early and very important (at setup is
inspecting your system) in the setup to prevent drive controller detection,
and select S to specify additional drivers. Then later you'll be prompted to
insert the manufacturer supplied Windows 2000 driver for your drive's
controller in drive "A"

If you wait and then S to specify additional drivers, then it may be too
late as Windows 2000 Setup at this point may have already assigned the
resources your drive's controller is wanting to use.

Are you using a RAID controller? If so, make sure you have the driver for it
 
is it a server ?
if so , pls use server disk driver or use server start cd ... example HP Server Smart Start
