    Describe exactly what happens when you boot the XP CD. Does it show the partitions existing now? Can you delete each and create a new on for install, then full format it NTFS? Try that now and tell us what happens.

    Download this Download Speccy 1.16.317 - Download - FileHippo.com and see if it tells you. It might, it might not, I haven't used it yet.

    Or-
    msinfo32, and look under components/storage/disks and see if it's there.

    Open Computer from the start button and look at drive C:\, check the size to determine if that is your SSD. The Windows partition will be on C:\.

    After looking around, I say you don't have one.
