Tried installing and it wouldn't recognise the SATA drive no matter what I did. I eventually gave up went back to XP and switched all the data from the IDE to SATA drive to make the IDE the boot drive. Eventually got it in after a few more problems. Right now just loading up a few programs and so on. But to be honest it seems to be slower than before

Does AMD 64 mean 64 bit? I think I read you need either one of the special editions or some kind of a tweak to get it to run on 64 bit v 32 bit like XP was. You might look into that.
