I installed an old ide hard drive in an HD enclosure. Hooked everything up and the system hangs durning bootup. The old ide drive has XP installed. Can anyone tell me if that is causing my problem' and how to solve this problem. I have tried every jumper setting on the IDE drive, but it still tries to boot my pc.

System:
amd 3500+
1024 pc 3200 ram
WD 200GB Sata HD
BFG 6800 Ulta Factory OC'ed

  Does the system post, are you pressing F8 , or whatever gives you a boot menu screen so you can get the option to boot from USB?  Where does it hang?

Yes the IDE drive is causing the problem. Try removing the jumper, and then put the drive on the other IDE connector on the cable.
