So, I purchased a new 150gb raptor and a 500gb sata hd. I want to move my 74gb raptor and current 250gb sata hd to another computer. That computer has a single 200 gb ide hd on a Abit nf8 motherboard. The abit nf8 has 2 sata slots so moving the 74gb raptor and 250gb sata should not be a problem.

My question is Is it possible to install the 74gb raptor, the 250gb sata HD, and the 200 gb ide all on the abit nf8 motherboard?

Also, is anyone out there running a similar setup with 2 sata harddrives plus an additional ide harddrive on the same mb?

If yes, Any links on how to do this would be appreciated.

Nothing special about that setup. Just make sure that you set the boot order for the hard drives correctly once you install the new drives, and you'll be fine

Doesn't matter. The IDE and sata are completely independent.
