Sata and kv8deluxe

AMD ATHLON64 3200+
KV8 DELUXE MAINBOARD
1GIG COSAIR MEM PC3500
SP1213C SAMSUNG SATA HARD DRIVE
WD 200 GIG HARD DRIVE(PRIMARY IDE/PRIMARY)
SOUNDBLASTER AUDIGY 2
ATI 9800XT 256MEG MEMORY
460 WATT ENERMAX POWER SUPPLY
THERMALTAKE XASER II CASE
SONY DVD-+R DRIVE(SECONDARY IDE/SECONDARY)
NEC DVD DRIVE(SECONDARY IDE/PRIMARY)

WHEN I LOAD WINDOWS XP PRO ONTO THE SATA HARD DRIVE THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS:
AGP(9800XT) IS ASSIGNED IRQ 128(IGNORES BIOS INSTRUCTION TO LET BIOS SET IRQ FOR AGP)
UNDER DEVICE MANAGER THERE IS NO PROCESSOR DRIVER SELECTION.

I HAVE TRIED TO LOAD XP IN THREE DIFFERENT WAYS ALL WITH THE SAME RESULT.
IT LOADS EVERYTHING FINE ON THE IDE W/SATA AS AN EXTRA DRIVE.

SEEMS LIKE THE SATA BIOS IS OVERWRITING THE MB BIOS.

NO OPTION TO CHANGE BIOS ORDER BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM.

You might double check the following:
The sata solution are you using - the VIA or the Promise, both are available for this MB, and a makedisk for each is on your K8V cd. Sata1 and sata2 is for the VIA, and pri_sata and sec_sata is for the promise - check your manual for location.
If you were to use the VIA for example, then you would need to set your bios under advanced/chipset - onchip sata bootrom "enabled" & onboard promise controller "disabled" & under boot - set 1st drive to the via vt6420.
