I just finished putting together my new system. I have two 400 GB SATA drives and two 250 GB IDE drives. When I tried to install windows on either sata drive, it said that the drive did not contain a windows xp compatible partition. I was finally able to install windows without the ide drives connected, but I can only boot into it if they are not connected. If the ide drives are connected, it says NTLDR is missing. What do I do?
