I plan on using 2 Seagate 250Gb SATA HDD's on this MB. I have the MB
here but am awaiting the remaining parts,,, HDDs, video card, ram ect.

Try as I might, I can't decipher from the manual if I will be able to
configure these SATA drives as my root drive (C:\). I figure I can
make the SATA drive bootable, but my question is, will WinXP configure
it as C:\ ?


Can anyone shed some light on this?

Yes it will. Just make sure you don't have a HDD on the IDE controller when
you do your install.
