Sata and Ide in Same System

[mikeczyz]

I think my research has turned up the answer to my question but I want to double check.

I am building a new computer and am buying a new SATA hd. In addition to the new hd, I would like to reuse my old IDE drive. I can hook up the IDE drive to the mobo (usign the master setting, right?) and also install the sata drive but I need to go to the mobo bios to specify which drive to boot from, right?

Thanks.

Yup, you're right. As long as you set the SATA drive as your boot drive you shouldn't have any problems.
