OS: windows XP SP3
I just got a new 500 GB Samsung SATA hard drive, which I plan on using for storage. My current hard drive is a 250 GB seagate IDE drive that has the OS on it. This is my first SATA drive. I also have another 250 gb hard drive hooked up to a Pata controller card (sil 0680). I have the controller card because at one time, I had 3 ide hard drives, but one of them broke down recently, which is why I got the sata drive.
At first, I had problems with BIOS because it wouldn't even recognize it, but I managed to overcome that by modifying some settings under the Peripheral category.
However, after making those changes, I'd get the BSOD after seeing the Windows logo screen. It'd tell me something like: remove any newly installed hard drive, or something like that.
I decided to try booting up in Windows 7, and surprisingly, it worked like a charm. From there, I created a logical partition.
I restarted my computer, selected Windows XP from the boot screen, and I got the BSOD again. So, I unplugged the SATA drive, rebooted again, and still got the BSOD. Then I went back into BIOS > Peripherals > and selected Native "something" > and disabled SATA > restarted computer > and here I am now.
Since I was able to boot into Windows 7, I figured it had to be a driver issue. I looked in Device manager in windows xp, and there's nothing there that says sata, only Intel 82801EB ultra ata controllers. I even went to Intel's download page and typed in 82801eb and got no results. I also updated my chipset drivers, but it didn't make a difference.

I also tried installing the RAID Software - Intel® Matrix Storage Manager - Primarily for Intel® ICH5R, but when I installed it, it said that it wasn't compatible with my hardware. I think it says that because it can't detect the SATA controller. And the reason it can't detect it is because in Bios, it's disabled. And the reason it's disabled is because if I enable it, I'll get the BSOD and then I won't be able to boot into Windows.
I already switched my hard drive from Sata II to Sata I, but I still go the BSOD.
You can find the manual for the mother board here (note: even though it's a Polish website, the manual is in English)

If you download > open it > and scroll down to the bottom of page 3-23, you'll see what I see in my Bios.
The next page gives some description of what they are, but I can't make much out of it.
Bottom line, I think I need to install the SATA drivers for my motherboard. Can I do this by doing a "repair installation" of Windows XP, in which case, I'd have the floppy drive with the sata drivers and then I'd hit the F6 key during installation.
