Seems like XCP (sfdisk) does not like hard drives without MBR. Try to 
boot to any Linux system and run fdisk /dev/sda, say 'w' (write) and 'q' 
(quit).
Sector0 contains two pieces of information: MBR (initial bootloader) and 
patition table. You need (seem like this) to have correct MBR before 
installing XCP.
