The one thing I can't see in Device Manager is your SATA controller.. Did you install the drivers for it??

i must have because it was working for about 10 months, ii think there maybe an issue in the bios as the system sometimes hangs when checking for drives, and the SATA device is never listed on the bios anymore. I not 100% sure as what settings should be for sata in the bios.

Wouldn't hurt..
Okay.. that mobo has on-board SATA controller.. You are going to need the systemboard driver cd and, if it isn't recognized now, use the add new hardware option..

Use your XP cd and run a repair install.. You may need to re-install the Service Packs, etc, but it will give XP a chance to find and re-install everything..
