Do not take jumpers off unless needed
Do not let the screwdriver slip and pwn the motherboard.

if you set it up wrong and it doesn't work, it is actually not a very big risk to killing anything. with the exception of USB headers, nothing you can put in wrong will carry enough power to break anything.

Shouldn't have to, just set the date/time, and set your first boot device to CD drive, to install XP.

o ok that makes me feel much better :D
i kno this next question is probably going to sound extremely n00bish but i need to kno wut to do: How do i format 2 HD's wile only instaling windows on 1? is there simply a choice for this?
basically i understand all of the building aspects of a custom comp but it's the BIOS that has me worried :umm:

when you have the WIndows cd installing. When you get to teh Partiton part if your BIOS does show them which it shoould lol. OK Partiton in the partiton it should show both hdd there is where you can format them. And one thing that is not noobish you have a question that you need Answered. :D cheers on the build.
