Can't install 5381

[ntec]

Pc specs: Abit nf7-S, amd 3000+, 512mb ram, 160gb sata drive +20gb ide, geforce 5900

I am trying to install to my old 20gb formatted to ntfs from my windows xp machine and once it does all the file copying and reboots I get a bsod with error 0x0000007b everytime. So then I tried installing it as a boot cd which allows me to get past entering the cdkey then at the drive configuration page I see the drive listed and when I click next it says something about not being able to find a drive partition and to check bios settings. Could the problem be because i'm not loading my motherboards ide drivers? Thanks

Are you sure the partition is primary, and NTFS 3.1???
