This is a brand new board just plugged in the only available h/d [sata] with xp home boots and runs ok until you plug in any usb device then blue screen error 0x0000007e
1.) Ensure XP is updated with latest device drivers
2.) Ensure latest chipset & motherboard drivers are installed
3.) Check USB drive, and USB port
4.) Boot up with any Linux OS Boot up disk and check if USB is working
5.) Install Windows 7 in case new drivers not available on XP

Try Hirens Boot CD. It has a lot of programs on it to detect format etc.
I think your hard drive has a missing or corrupt MBR and it needs to be replaced.
When I have had a hard dive not recognized I hve used Super Fdisk to format and reset hard drive.
On the boot disk

XP installation does not have SATA drivers.
You need to have the SATA driver on a floppy disk and during the XP installation press F6 to install the SATA driver.
The other alternative is to change the BIOS configuration and set the disk controller to IDE or SATA native driver, then install XP.
After Windows installation then install the SATA driver.
Download the driver from the motherboard WEB site.
