Okay guys,
I need some PC help.
I need to get a new Hard Drive and I'm debating about getting a SATA drive. My motherboard is an ABIT NF7-S. It is SATA capable.
My question is - if I switch to using the SATA Hard Drives, will I still be able to use the EIDE/ATA CDRW and DVD+R that I already have in the PC?
In otherwords - does using the SATA connections somehow override or disable the IDE connectors inside the PC?
I can't seem to find this information anywhere, and I don't want to go plop down $150+ on a hard Drive that won't work for my needs.
Thanks,
Tim
