Thanks for the suggestions. I understand everything except: "you can
then format XP off the SATA." Can you explain in a little more detail
what that means and how to do it?

After you boot into XP which is installed on the IDE drive, go into
Administrative tools > Computer management > Disk management then select the
SATA drive and format it. This will remove all of the files on the HDD in
the process.

I hope you have labeled you drives/partitions so you know which one is
which. Makes it harder to accidentally delete or format a partition.
