I didnt mean to say its hard to get it going on a SATA drive. I 
personally have had some trouble with motherboards and SATA drives. Just 
little things - stupid things that get under your skin. I just like to 
use what works - and for me its been IDE so far.

Really, just plug it in a go from there. If you start to have odd 
problems like it not being recognized - which I have had for no apparent 
reason - that is when it gets frustrating.

Have you already purchased all your parts?
