Seen this on a few old boards (none were dual socket though) and it seems to be related to the IDE controller - XP is fine but Windows 7 hangs exactly where yours does. Only fix I ever found was using either onboard SCSI or an add-in IDE / SCSI card.

You'd normally get it from the manufacturers website or thru a product spec sheet but for such old drives these can be hard to track down so, based on the Ebay pics, I'll take an educated guess! The first one you bought looks as if it could have a Z-height of either 17 or 19mm. The one I linked, …

Do you have Toshiba Satellite laptop as well? No I don't, but the 44-pin IDE interface is a widely recognised standard across numerous platforms. Not sure why that drive you bought isn't recognised as physically it looks OK, so maybe it's a bios limitation. According to this spec sheet (the 220CDS …

As has been mentioned above, you don't need to worry about these (non-removable) 'extra' 4 pins - they are only there to allow for correct Master / Slave / Cable Select configuration. If you look at the image you posted earlier of the laptop drive interface... 44-Pin IDC.jpg ...the 4 pins will sit …

^^The extra 4 pins on the drive in your link (or any other laptop IDE drive) don't count towards the 44 - they are the Master / Slave / CSEL config pins.

And is just what you'd expect to see. It's a nominal 44-pins...43 actual pins / holes plus one missing / blank orientation pin / hole (bottom row, just left of centre) - a standard drive will fit fine.

If you're not wanting a big tower EATX case, another option might be chambered / cube cases like the Corsair Air 540 - it could probably take a board as big as 345mm (if you lose the front fans) and has front bays and windowed options. Usually used ones are readily available on the Bay. More …

What issues are you having with the P4i65G - mine have been rock solid over a number of years (unlike their P4VM900-SATA2 which was an awkward sod). Assuming you don't want to go PCI-E (I've used both the Asrock & Biostar 945GC boards which were fine) then the best matx 478/ AGP board I've used ( …

Thanks for the pointers on these boards though they're all a bit steep for my limited budget and some don't ship to my locale (wish I'd held on to the Mylex now as well as the cards, but it was sold along with its original Viglen case - pic attached, though not mine). I'll keep looking for something …
