Hi, on bios i have the hdd on fourth ide master and dvd is on 3 ide master and on first and second its say not detected. Right now i cant install windows XP, do you think that could be from this? Should i put hdd on primary ide master? How u do that? Thanks
 
Whats the exact message that comes up when you try to install windows xp and where is it getting stopped at? (example: Before you tell it what drive to use or after you format it, etc)

And yes put your hdd on first IDE master and set the drives jumper to master.
