i doubt there will be an issue going from an ide connection, to the sata connectors, however, there is the issue of the hdd and windows being setup for your current motherboard, and therefore, cannot effectively run the new board. that's where you may have an issue....
i say back up your data, and give it a try afterwards. you might be able to install windows over windows, and install the drivers for the new board, and so on, but i think a clean install would be a better choice.
i have a max2 motherboard, and i had no problems at all with my os, and hdd, and files when i went from my raid ide connectors, and connected to the sata connectors on my motherboard. my raid controller is an hpt374, which is the same as yours, but yours is 2 channel, and mine is 4 channel. i believe mine had no issues because it is the same board...you plan to swith boards, and i see trouble there......back up first, just to make sure.
