Doesn't this OS have a list of supported SATAs? for those who have installed it? How are SATAs supported if there is no list of which ones are supported?

I could also get the following information:

Drivers list for this machine:
http://www.pc-ap.fujitsu.com/support/drv_lb_wxp_s7210.html

Divice manager name of SATA device:
Intel(R) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Conttoller

Please

The manual doesn’t give much hardware info.
The best way to find out if it will run on your machine is to download and  
burn the live CD.  Instructions and download here  
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/getubuntu/download
You can then boot off it and see if it will run with out altering your  
current set up.
