A8N-SLI Premium - two issues

I just put together a system with an A8N-SLI Premium motherboard and
I'm in the process of getting the various drivers and software
installed. I have Windows XP Pro installed on the machine.

The first issue I'm having is with an add-in audio card. I'd like to
use my M-Audio Revolution 5.1 pci audio card from my previous system.
I disabled the onboard audio in the BIOS and installed the M-Audio card
in the top PCI slot (nearest the PCI-e slots). The system ran fine
like this for several hours while I installed NVIDEA drivers, video
drivers, updated Windows, etc. I had no sound, of course, without the
M-Audio driver. I downloaded the latest M-Audio XP driver, installed
it, then upon booting windows I tried going into the M-Audio settings
and the system blue screened. Afterwards, as soon as the system booted
into Windows, it would immediately blue screen. I tried the second PCI
slot, same results. So I've pulled the card out for now.

The second issue is that after installing the NVIDIA drivers from ASUS,
I now have a removable hardware icon in my system tray that lists my
main system drive, an SATA Western Digital Raptor WD740GD.
