ive been using this board with a sata hdd (with vista on it) and have a spair ide hdd i would like to install and use xp on. ive got 2 optical drives installed on the primary ide slot so i have to use the seconday, but for some reason it doesnt "know" that ive plugged the hdd in, and therefore cant use it or install xp on it. any idea how to fix this problem, vista is getting on my nerves so id like to be able to install xp again. (obviously without uninstalling my vista, ill still need it for the dx10 games, :) )

Sounds like you may have the IDE HDD connected to the jmicron controller, make sure you load the drivers for it in the xp setup.
