First of all, can you have 1 SATA drive and 1 PATA hard drive running on the same system?
Also, I tried formatting a HD today and putting XP home on it, it formatted well and installed all the files well but when I tried to start up my system it said DISC BOOT ERROR - INSTALL SYSTEM DISC AND PRESS ENTER or something along those lines. Even with the windows XP disc in, it wouldn't start up. I went into BIOS and fixed the boot order but that didn't do anything
