I have a SA-KT600 Dragon Plus V.1.0 currently using a Maxtor IDE ULTRA
ATA133.
What I would like to do is to install a Western Digital SATA unit: the mobo
has a SATA terminal and comes with the SATA cable.
1. Can both drives be run at the same time, ie drive C as ATA and drive D as
SATA?
2. What is the best way to transfer the entire contents of the ATA drive to
the SATA drive and then make the SATA drive the boot drive, with eventually
taking the older IDE drive entirely out of the system?
thanks in advance

1. Yes
2. You should have gotten a C-D with the drive. On it are the
utilities to accomplish what you want to do. If no C-D, go to the
wwebsite of the manufacturer ands download those utilities.
