I'd also like to point out that if you use an IDE and a SATA drive in the same computer, you may have to change some BIOS settings to specify which drive the computer should boot from. I know that was the case with my old desktop I bought in 2003 (back when SATA was just coming out), so it could still be an issue to watch for.

You make a good point. Sometimes setting up the main drive can be tricky at first.

I have anIDE and 2 SATAs and all i had to do is configure the boot order the same as you'ld have to do if you'ld normally have to do with multiple HDDs, only takes a couple seconds
