Hard disk is not detected

Hi, I have recently built my new pc and installed windows xp.
However to install windows xp you have to have a floppy drive right? However my pc uses SATA HDD and CD-ROM. So I somehow bypass'd it by changing my SATA configuration to "disabled".
Then I set the BIOS to boot up from CD-ROM to install windows.
Now whenever I boot up my pc it says breifly "Hard disk not detected" and resumes like nothing has happened!
My Computer is fine and I can run anything and there are no problems. I even installed windows 7 and same thing with the "Hard disk not detected".
I changed the SATA configuration back to normal, which is "ACHI" mode and I've changed the BIOS to boot up from HDD.
Everything seems to run smoothly. Is there anything I need to be cautious about? Or shall I just leave it?

thanks!

Jerry
