FIT-PC BIOS does not recognize SATA drive

I ordered a diskless PC2i and could not get the XP installation to see the SATA drive. I tried two drives. Transcend 2.5" SATA-2 SSD and Segate Momentus 250 GB SATA drive. I pressed F2 to boot to the BIOS screen and could not continue from there.
Thanks in advance for help.

When you pressed F2, did you get to BIOS menu or not?
How do you install XP? From a USB CD-ROM or from where?

When I pressed F2, I was able to goto BIOS. However, the FIT-PC could not recognize the SATA drive. After XP drivers are loaded, the installation process said "NO Hard Drive Found" and prompted to press F3 to exit the installation.

SATA interface of diskless fit-PC2i is tested before shipping.
If you suspect that the SATA interface is non-functional please email
