Hi Igor,
First, does your board support the xp 3200? can it handle the 2200mhz 
cpu speed?

About the hard disk cable: are you using a cable select or standard 
cable? The way to tell if you are or not is to look at the end 
connecters. if one has a little twist in the wire slightly below it 
it's cable select. if so make sure your disk is jumpered as cs. if 
it's not a cs cable then set the jumper to master, or if it has a 
setting for one single device and you don't want any others on that 
controler the use that. also, if your cable isn't keyed try reversing 
it in the ide controler. if it's in backwards weird stuff can 
happen...does the dis spin up?
