I'll try that and get back to you.
On second though, what am I exactly looking for, and which hard drive should I use? I've got a clean hard drive, and right now if I clear the CMOS and set it to boot to the hard drive it gets hung at "Verifying DMI pool data". Actually, the same thing happens if I use the HDD with XP already installed, but I'm not really expecting the XP installed HDD to get very far.
I'm beginning to think there is an issue with my motherboard communicating with my hard drives, although I'm not quite sure why. I've flashed to a new BIOS and the motherboard recognizes the HDD in post. I don't know, I'm probably just making things up since I'm stumped as it is.
