Problems Dual booting.

I have 4 harddrives. 2 SATA 2 and 2 IDE.

1 is my primary with Vista 64 Ultimate. The second is the one that
holds my License codes (I don't ever want to touch this drive).
My third is blank (IDE).
4th is a back up of everything.

I want to install Win XP SP2 on my second drive. I can't describe how
much I love XP. Anyway, I disconnected all drives apart from #3. I
formatted and then installed XP on the partition. Once completed I took
the disk out and comp restarted.

After I tried to boot the computer it would load the first page (List
harddrives and boot options etc). After that, my monitor would display
"No Signal" and the computer would restart and repeat.

Why is it doing this? Why won't it continue the setup for WinXP?

Make sure the drive is properly set up in your boot priorities.
