In setting up a new ESXi (3.5.0) server I came across the issue of not having the BUSLogic driver or the LSI Logic driver when attempting to install windows xp pro as a guest os. I was getting that "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer" error message.
You've got several options:
1) MY SOLUTION: Download the BusLogic driver disk directly from VMWare: http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmscsi-1.2.0.4.flp.
2) Download the LSI Drivers from the LSI website and make your own .flp image.
3) Slipstream a copy of windows XP installer to include either of these drivers using something like nLite (good god, that software is AWESOME!)
Vincent Vlieghe has much more detailed instructions on his blog. These instructions work for both ESX and ESXi.
