ATA and IDE
I am planning on installing a 200gb Serial ATA. Right now I have 2 harddrives installed. 1 40gb and 1 60gb IDE (parallel). I want to leave these drives the way they are and install the Serial ATA via the serial port on my machine. Is there anything I should expect when doing this?Will this work or do I have to do some refiguring?
I am planning to run windows XP Pro on the 40 gb. ANd I am planning to install Mepis 3.3.1 on the 60 gb. And the 200 gb will be a storage drive. Thanks,
