When you did the in-place upgrade quite possibly you needed to press F6 at the very beginning of the setup routine to have Windows load the SATA or Mass Storage controller drivers. You MUST supply the drivers on floppy diskette, the setup program will not accept the drivers from any other media source.

What's the proper procedure for computers that have no floppy drive?
