Yep, sure can.
I had problems with it at first, cuz it chose to boot from my ide drive first before the sata and my os was on the sata, so i threw the ide onto the second ide controller and it works like a charm

You guys need to get your terminology right.

SATA = Serial ATA
PATA = Parallel ATA
ATA = IDE

PATA is an IDE device & so is SATA.

Very true...I use that improper term all the time too, its just habit, everything I read refers to it like that. I didn't even know until I noticed my bios listed sata as an ide device.

Terms get blurred, especially by those who dont know what they mean. Normally if i refer to an IDE HD i speak of a PATA but if I wanna say a SATA drive then I specifically say SATA...but thats just me.

Also you can interchange HD's all you want to as long as your mobo supports as many as you have.
