If I bought this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822152020
SATA harddrive, because I have a hunch that my current ide western digital HD that I got last year is about to fail, would I be able to still boot windows using IDE hd and windows recognizing the sata hard drive. does it work like that? If you dont get what I am asking basically if I have an IDE hard drive, and I attempt to install a SATA hard drive will I be able to boot windows up so that it recognizes both hard drives, also could I configure them for a RAID array so when the IDE drive does fail in the coming future my SATA drive will take all of the data.

GA-K8NS Ultra - 939 nforce 3 ultra chipset by gigabyte;
