If you want to upgrade to the Hoary testing release as soon as you
have finished installing Warty then Id suggest you download the ISO of
the current Hoary CD. It has better hardware detection anyway so might
cope better - especially as you are running new hardware (SATA). If
you get Warty installed and upgrade to Hoary you will end up
downloading almost as much as a whole CD ISO anyway in updated
packages. Id say go to:
http://cdimage.ubuntulinux.org/releases/hoary/array-2/
and get the ISO you need from there and give it a go...
