just had a thought... its been a year since I did my last drive but as I recall they come unformatted and you need to format them in the format you want, but I believe true image can format as it goes so just load up the true image recovery disk and start you restore

this is your hdd caviar green backside:
Those pins at the right should have the settings for the slave, master, cable select, etc. in the top as seen here:
It's not clearly seen from here though. I may be mistaken as i have had no probs with SATA drives.

Go to the CMOS features option and you'll see the drives you've got installed on it.

XP disks dont include SATA drivers for installing the OS which is why it wont see your hard drive. You need to create a XP boot disk including drivers for your SATA controller or put the drivers on a floppy and press f6 it the beginning of xp setup to load drivers from a floppy.
Acronis also doesnt support SATA if you created "full mode" restore disks only if you created "safe mode" disks.
