I've got something similar to this on an old K6 as well. When I try to install windows on any hard drive i stick in, it detects the configuration and asks me to press the key for installing raid if I need to, then it goes blank.

This may be a stupid question but is your Raptor connected to the Jmicron SATA plug or the ICH8 SATA?
If it's on the Jmicron controller the "F6" driver install thing might be in play here? (nat familiar with the ICH8 and JMicron controller config so I may be way off base.
Also, I am assuming that the ICH8 has the ability to do IDE, RAID, and AHCI modes? On the 975, with the disk configuration set to AHCI or RAID on the ICH7 the drivers need to be loaded from floppy at setup time using "F6"

should be the j-micron plug..since the manual said it has 4 ich8 slots and 1 j-micron plug..(they're different colors too..i installed the j-micron driver thru windows and it worked beautifully after...but now i dunno..i just know the setup saw the drive before lol

Looking at your pics It shows 2 drives. Is one external or are there 2 internals?
Are you actually running a RAID setup?
If you have 2 drives,(internal or external) disconnect the secondary and try to install XP again.
Another question...In your BIOS does it recognise the drive fully? ie: show the correct size.... etc?

The problem lies not so much with MSI or this particular board but with the chipset (ICH8). Since, with the 865 chipset, Intel decided to NOT include native PATA IDE support manufacturers had to "paste" on a third party PATA controller in order to provide legacy IDE support (primarily to support PATA optical drives). Many board makers used the JMicron controller and the discussion boards are full of install issues with it. You should've gotten a couple of floppies with your board, one with drivers for the JMicron and one with AHCI drivers for the Intel ICH8.
When 1st booting to do the XP install you have to have a floppy drive (this is XPs fault) and hit "F6" when XP says "hit F6 to install third party SCSI driver" (I'm paraphrasing that line ) then insert the floppy and select the appropriate driver.
The reason that the drive is being seen as IDE (and the reason it works on the ICH8 SATA without drivers from the floppy) is probably because you have the drive configuration in BIOS set to "IDE" vs. "AHCI". The main thing AHCI buys you is Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and hot plug capability. If you aren't concerned with this then you should be fine. DON'T switch it in BIOS with your current install as it will just BSOD until you switch it back.
If you do want AHCI mode the Intel preferred method is to install the drivers at OS install time using "F6". I managed to install the AHCI drivers on my ICH7 SATA controller after installing in "IDE" mode without re-installing but can't guarantee it will work for everyone so I won't post those instructions unless you want to try it
