ok i want u to try it this way
burn to iso which u did  correct ?
if so then
write to hard drive  OUT OF THE MERIT BOX
so u are placing a linuix drive in the box >OLNY<
go to bios make sure the hd is #1
then place the new harddrive with linuix in..
it should boot to linuix..if this is confusioning to u ?
then snag a windows xp drive any drive with the full os on it
98 is better but xp will get u there >as long as it boot's<
and put it in the merit box >ide<
u should get windows up..
it will >xp< error on u >normal as it will want a wack of driver's<
but it is the acid test,to tell u the board is working
thus your board test's are over

i tried the windows method, no luck. Windows XP would crash and reboot when it was loading disk.sys, I also tried to install from scratch and the furthest I got was loading windows setup files. I tried another old drive which I think had Windows 98 from it, but that wouldn't load either.

I am not sure the problem but the fact that you got as far as you have leads me to think this is not a mobo problem. Old hardware does not play nice with newer hardware. Good example is I have a i810 chipset mobo that will not boot off a CF card with a CF to IDE adapter but boots fine off a old IDE hard drive. I have another i810 chipset mobo that boots off the CF card with no problem. You are probably having hardware conflicts somewhere. I would make sure you have nothing but a cd drive connected to the primary IDE and try loading the wary linux cd again with just a keyboard. It might be a good idea to try another linux live cd version aswell.
