Read the User's Guide that came with your ASUS motherboard.
Your SATA hard drive settings in the BIOS are not correct.

|I have a new asus k8v se mb with amd64 3200+. I placed a single new

| (from the asus web site) but when it's all loaded it says it can't
| find a hd to install winxp on and that's it. 
| Help. Do I have to partition this thing first with fdisk on a dos
| floppy? I thought winxp would do all this. ( i want one partition (120
| gb) and ntfs. will any fdisk do?
| thanks,
