it doesn't matter what IDE port the hard drive or the CD drive is... just you have to have the boot setup right!

when you insert the xp cd you should be able to see "press any key to boot from cd" if you don't..then something is wrong from that point.

(make sure you can boot from cd)
(are you still not able to access bios?)

if you see that message then just follow instructions from then on.
