How can I assign a 'C' drive to make it bootable?

I try to install Windows XP on a disk recently wiped a update on my HP Compaq nc6400.

(Full Specs-http://www.cnet.com/laptops/hp-compaq-nc6400-core/4507-3121_7-31851193.html)
My main problem is that XP cannot detect any hard drives. I checked the most; the format is correct, I ran HDD via 3rd pary diagnosis and splash screen, but none of this does not work. I even tried new hard disks (none have a "C" drive), but to no avail. I can get Linux [better than nothing?] to install, so is that still confuses things.
So, my question is: how to assign a letter 'C' on a hard drive? I can't do it through any other Windows computer because it already has a C"" drive. All solutions?
If more details are needed, feel free to ask (note the link has all the technical characteristics of the system).

When installing Windows XP will ask you where to install Windows. This should normally be the "Unallocated" space not partitioned / unformated drive.  Once installation is complete XP automatically assigns C: partition where XP is installed.

As long as your drive is not formatted (not partitions or other versions of Windows installed) you should not have a problem.
