One thing that is essential to know, before moving on, is the kind of hard disc where the Windows operating system will supposedly be installed. The hdd can either be plugged on IDE or on a SATA controller (there are more options of course, but I'm only stating here the two most common ones).

So, please post back where your Windows will go, as well as if it'll be WinXP or something else.
