By starting over do you mean by reinstalling again? The driver that the system is using for your sata controller may not be the proper one and causing a BSOD when trying to reboot. This method is not perfect, I've had issues myself where I had to make modifications some drivers in the driverpack to get it to work properly with certain controllers. Luckily, there is another method that may work better, but will only work for the machine that you're installing Windows XP on. Take a look here-->http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Windows-XP-On-SATA-Without-a-Floppy-F6-47807.shtml

Let me know how things work out.

I've found that some motherboard software CDs/DVDs can be booted from to preload SATA and RAID drivers before you start the Windows installation. Not sure how well this works or how efficient it is, but just something I noticed more recently.

I do not think you mean actually booting off of the software CD that came with the motherboard.
You may mean booting off of an OS CD and using "F6" during setup to install the drivers from a CD at that time.

I mean what I said previously... Got my sister a midrange Asus board and after using the disc to install the chipset drivers, etc. I left the Asus DVD in on reboot, it booted from the disc and gave me the option to load RAID drivers.

I have yet to do a RAID setup, so what I saw may or may not work in the same sense as the slipstreaming, but just wanted to throw it out there as it may help someone out. Might be a fairly new software trend with Asus and other board manufacturers since boards with RAID capability are becoming more and more common.
