Hello everyone.
I just finished installing Windows XP on my brothers new computer I built for him, when I turn on or reboot screan says, "no hard drive detected", but then boots to Windows. I have a (WD3200KSRTL) WD Caviar SE 16 Blue HDD, I don't know if I have to set jumper or not because I never had to with my Raptor 150. My brother likes things to work the way there supposed to, so this little problem needs to be resolved before I deliver the computer to my brother's house. DRAM settings 4-4-4-12 @ 2.0V, "Boot Device Priority" set (1) HDD, and (2) DVD-R. The rest of my specs down below, thanks for any help! 
Asus P5Q Deluxe
Q6600 @ 2.4GHz, not planning to OC ever!
G.Skill DDR2 6400 2GBHZ 2x1GB
Samsung DVD-R
