I'm looking under Hard Drive under my specific model and all that's listed is a firmware upgrade, and some utilities.

Unfortunately, my XP install CD doesn't have the SATA drivers, and does not see that there are any hard drives in the laptop. I'm assuming that to manually install these I would do it by pressing F6 at the beginning of the XP install process, but where would I get the SATA drivers to begin with? I've looked at Device Manager in Vista, and it shows that the driver that's being used is a Windows driver.
