hardedge,
I feel your pain. I'm mostly through my build right now.
Blackduck seems like he has a handle on this.

I have a WD 80Gb Ide and one optical DVD-ROM drive on the IDE connector near the floppy connector at the front of the board (PRI_IDE1), opposite side of the rear panel. My SATA DVDR is plugged in to SATA3 (ICH6R) controller. I will eventually get the second SATA drive for the raid and those will be on the SATA_RAID1 and 2 connectors. Drives were recognized properly by xp during install.

I would also advise disabling the ITE8212 in bios if you don't need it. This will make for a faster bootup.

Just my $.02 USD
