Stephane,

I ran into the same problem after wiping out my Compaq nc6320 and trying to install XP Pro. The fix is to disable SATA Native mode. To do this:
Enter F10 Setup then System Configuration>Device Configurations>SATA Native Mode and disable it, save the changes and now you should be able to install XP Pro. Remember, when I did this the drive was blank, I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
Best of luck!
Bryan

P.S.
If you want to enable SATA native mode after you have installed XP Pro check out this link:

Sounds like the hard drive may be having problems. Download this bootable CD and see if any of the hard drive utilities indicate anything. You may have to replace the hard drive or cable that connects the hard drive to the motherboard.
