Issue ~ Sata NTFS Drive Issue

Recently purchase a sata drive for additional storage for my pc.
However Windows XP sp2 is having problems with it. If I boot the os
in safe mode with minimal features selected, I'm able to format a
partition on the drive restart the machine and log in successfully.
However if I boot in safe mode with network features turned on with
the previously formatted partition the system becomes unstable. (blue
screen of death) So I believe the features that get booted in network
versus minimal are causing my problem. Is there an application that
will tell me exactly what gets loaded so that I can compare the two
and narrow down the root cause of the problem. (possibly drivers
associated with my onboard network card, etc) Thanks.

Asus P4P800se
2 IDE drive --- Main PATA
2 CD/DVDs -- Secondary PATA
1 SATA --- on board SATA controller
