I'm not using any kind of RAID. I have it disabled in the BIOS. I do have multiple drives, however for this case I have disconnected the other ones after it started failing to see if that was the problem.
I will have to check with ASUS to see if there is an updated BIOS and then flash it. I have read that these mobo's have had problems using some of the onboard sata connectors.
Windows doesn't get stuck at the beginning of the install, it will go through the first part of the repair install(blue screen) just fine. When it reboots for the first time the XP loading screen comes up and then it BSOD's on me.

are you using RAID 0? RAID 1? JBOD? or do you just have one of them set up as a secondary drive?
If you're stuck at the beginning of the Windows installation then you could try to flash the BIOS to the latest version.
boot from XP bootable disk > first repair (recovery console) > perform chkdsk c: /R and then install.
