Sata driver for fujitsu amd690vm-fmh - EliteGroup ECS AMD690GM-M2 Socket AM2 Motherboard

The driver you need is for the onboard IDE/SATA controller. Locate the make and model of your motherboard, visit the support site that they have online, download the driver for the IDE/SATA/RAID (if applicable) controller.

It appears to be SATA 2.5

If you are running windows 7, it should download the driver automatically. The disk may be faulty. Listen for any clicking or grinding noises coming from the disk.

if you look at the connector on the harddrive it is not a sata connector pull tht connector piece off and underneath it is the sata connectors you are looking for.

Are you using the Fujitsu-supplied Windows XP Installation Media, or a "generic" Windows XP CD-ROM?

The "generic" version may be lacking the device-drivers for the SATA disk-drive,
and therefore cannot "find" the disk-drive.

The SATA drivers will be on the XP disk. Just put the XP disk in your CD drive, partition the new disk and load the OS.
If this answers your question, I'd appreciate 4 thumbs. I do this for fun and do not get paid.

Get the drivers from the motherboard homepage, extract the file at a floppy or USB, and start WinXP installation from your cd. At the begining at the bottom line is a message like "for ... drivers press F6 to install" Press F6 and after sometime the will prompt you to provide the drivers from the floppy. In the WinXP sp3 the generic SATA drivers are already on the installation cd.

You computer need the oem driver for the sata controller to be installed before windows can be installed. It wont find the drive at all with out the driver. You have to use the factory restore disks or have a usb floppy drive and download the driver and put it on a floppy disk and change the bios to work with the floppy. The easiest way is to use the oem software.
