The simplest procedure would be -

1) Go to Advanced BIOS Features, and change the boot order to
   "floppy, cdrom, hard drive". That way, when a CDROM isn't in
   the tray, the boot order will automatically go to the hard drive.
   The default order shown in the manual, of "floppy, hard drive, cdrom",
   doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and it should be fixed.
2) Next, go to Integrated Peripherals and set "SATA Port 0-3 Native Mode"
   to enabled. This will use the Microsoft built-in (PCI bus) SATA driver,
   which is present in WinXP SP1 or later. The Samsung drive can be connected to
   SATAII_0 or SATAII_1. The BIOS doesn't seem to have a setting that
   affects SATAII_4 and SATAII_5, but that will remain an issue for
   another day. I presume they at least run in Native Mode, if no RAID
   is being used.
3) Don't forget to "Save and Exit" as you leave the BIOS, as you want the
   changed settings to be saved, before the computer POSTs again.
4) Boot the computer with the WinXP CD and do your install. I'm hoping your
   CD in this case, is at least at Service Pack 1 (SP1). If the WinXP CD
   doesn't have a Service Pack, then you'll need a new plan. But the CD
   you've got, would have to be pretty old, to be missing any Service Pack.

Now, it helps to know what Service Pack is present on the CD. Chances are,
the Windows CD you bought, is recent enough to have some Service Pack
incorporated. If the CD was at SP1, then you'd want to install
SP2 (or SP3) next. Then, I'd insert the motherboard CD, after SP2 is installed,
and install the chipset drivers. Then the video card driver CD can be
installed. After that, it is time to check what is left over or
doesn't look right in Device Manager.

If your WinXP CD has SP2 on it, then you could do the motherboard CD
and its chipset drivers, right after Windows has booted from the hard
drive.

Ok, sorry about the redundant questions, but after 30 replies, I'm not sure
anyone is following the questions. I'm fed up too, about going back to these
replies, and this had been a real bitch, sorry about the complaining, maybe
the monkey is climbing back onto my back. LOL
Ok, I'm about to start again. I just opened the side panel on the
Thermaltake VA8000B Series tower, and I'm about to install the motherboard
that was returned, in about 2 days, from newegg.com.
If this mobo is fixed, and it was the problem, then newegg.com rocks, big
time.
Ok, lets start, this will take a couple of hours, and I have about that
time left of daylight on a Saturday at 6:15 PM.
One thing I was taking from one of your replies. I just was reading the
user manual of the motherboard and it has alot of useful information about
SATA and what to configure in BIOS.
My question there has to do with BIOS. Can I get into BIOS, even though the
OS isn't loaded yet? I mean, there isn't any operating system loaded yet, and
I'm wondering if I can get into BIOS before an OS is loaded? Now from what
I've read here I take it I can. I will have a Windows XP Pro OS disk in the
CD-ROM, though. I mean while I have that in there, the disk.
Well, I'll wait for your response, and that's a bit down the road. I think
I can finish assembly before it gets dark.
Ok, lets give it a shot.
