No drivers are needed in Windows XP. So, that leaves us with the question "what is your problem"? If it's non-detection.....

Drives disappearing from the system are often related to the Busmaster ide drivers. XP has the bad habit of reinstalling WQHL drivers that are present in it's windows/system32 after an uninstall and reboot procedure. Instead of uninstalling the busmaster driver, go to device manager, choose to "update driver" and choose yourself the driver you want to install from the "compatible hardware "list (best is to choose from the native Windows XP busmaster drivers), example: if system currently lists "Intel(r) 82801BA Bus Master IDE Controller", try changing it to "Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller".... install and reboot...... or try next step:

common problem in Windows XP... not a fault in the drive but the XP operating system.
