XP Clean install can't repartition vista disc

Help. I have a 160gb hdd in a system which was only running Vista. I decided
to wipe and clean install XP, but when XP gets to its partitioning screen, it
sees a 24mb MBR volume and then a 'disc' with no drive on it. I cannot do
anything to partition the free space on the drive.

I have tried going through Vista setup and deleting the partition, which it
claims it did, but XP still can't see the disc. I have also tried fixmbr with
no luck.

I'm sure this is a relatively easy fix, but I'm not sure what else to try.
