Problems installing Windows XP

System Specs:

Asus Crosshair Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+
ATI Radeon X1900XTX
2Gb OCZ Gold XTC PC2-6400
Creative Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme
Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 120gb Sata HD
Western Digital 250gb Sata HD

I'm trying to install Windows XP (Original without any service packs) and when it gets to the part of the windows set that says "Setup is starting windows" The system shuts down on me. I'm assuming it's because windows doesn't recognize a HD since I'm running 2 SATA drives. I'm trying to install windows on a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA HD. I downloaded this driver from the ASUS website:

Silicon Image 3132 Serial ATA Driver Disk V1.0.0.9 for Windows 2000/XP/2003.(WHQL)

I put that on a floppy, and installed it when windows asked for it during the initial XP setup and got the reset. I also tried the setup without installing that driver and the same thing happened. Did I get the wrong driver, or does the problem go deeper than that?

Ever see anthing like this?

Thanks
