Hard Drive Problem HELP!

I am building a new system and can't seem to get the hard drive to work properly to setup windows. Whenever I fdisk c: i get "NO FIXED DISK PRESENT." Also when I setup I get this "If you have HPFS or NTFS installed on your hard drive, you will need to create an MS-DOS boot partition to set up windows."

I have created a primary boot partition on this hard drive on another system. When I run windows or type DIR on the other system it doesn't work. I then installed the hard drive back on the new system and I have the problems listed in the first paragraph. I have no other ideas so please help me.

Here is the system:

ASUS A7A266 mainboard
1.2 GHz 266 FSB processor
Western Digital 20 gig hard drive
 
Make sure virus protection is turned off in BIOS. What is this "other" system that you had the drive installed in for a while?
