hi, and happy holidays!
I have a question. Would I be able to install win xp on the sata hd, and boot from it, and use my pata harddisks as data drives?
I'm using a k7s5a pro motherboard, and a Sabrent Silicon Image Serial ATA 2-Port SATA RAID PCI Controller Host Card Adapter. My pata drives are a wd cavier 160gb, and a segate 4gb hd.
