Well, if I understand XP as far as I can throw my computer I believe this is how you can over come this. First install XP with one hard drive. After a successful installation connect the second drive and boot with a bootable floppy disk with commands--I prefer Win98. FDISK your secondary drive. Load XP and format the secondary drive. Just few things as a reminder.
1) ALWAYS BACK UP!!!
2) BIOS setting on drive is set to AUTO
3) JUMPER settings on both drives are CORRECT!!!

Bill is getting too much, don't you think?
