My friend, who has one of these boards wants to upgrade his hard drive.
Will it accept a 200GB sata drive natively without an overlay?

Yep. If using win2000 or xp, install latest service pack before adding
the drive or windows may limit it to 137GB. I have 2 x 250GB SATA
drives that I added to an existing XP-SP2 setup on an a7n8x deluxe 2
mobo. He'll need to have sata enabled on the mobo first, too.
