Well I know with some motherboards the SATA controller isn't supported my Windows XP. I'm thinking that maybe the ones that came with this motherboard might be better then what XP can us.

I posted this earlier today:

Hi guys,

I don't know if this might be a SATA driver issue, but I notice that when installing XP it takes like 45 minutes to do the install. It seems to hang after it does the restart after formatting/copying files. And when I install Vista I notice it takes a long time to startup. Hangs for a long time on the blank screen before the vista logo. This has been like then sence I built the new system in my sig.

Thanks
Shawn
