In your shoes this is what I would do with this problem - basically start from scratch ...
Disconnect ALL your Hard Drives and Optical Drives.
Remove your Ultra ATA 100 controller card.
Set the 'Jumpers' on one Hard Drive to Master.
Connect The Master Hard Drive to your system IDE Connector 0.
Set the 'Jumpers' on one Optical Drive to Master.
Connect The Master Optical Drive to your system IDE Connector 1.
Switch your system ON and go to BIOS (normally delete key).
Remove any drives that are showing in BIOS.
Detect and Install you 2 drives into BIOS.
Reboot the PC - if you get a boot disk error put your XP Install disk in, reboot into BIOS and set your BIOS to boot from CD.
Reboot and see if you can get it going from there.
