can i have ide and sata drives on the same board?

Yes you can!!\n\nIDE and Sata channels both run completely separate interfaces and can work very well together.\n\nIf you're thinking of filling up with drives, I would recommend checking the output of the PC power supply.  Hard drives use quite a bit of power.\n\nAnother good tip for extra performance:  If you get 2 sata drives (same size) and use the sata raid 0 (zero) option, it will use both drives as one large volume.  It will also write data across both drives (striped) which means installed programs will run twice as \nfast - as it reads data from both drives at once.  Keep windows installed on the IDE drive, but move Windows paging file to the sata volume.  You will get an immediate and noticable performance boost with this option.\n\nHope this helps :)

You can only install a Serial ATA drive on a computer that has a driver on the motherboard, or you'll have to buy a drive controller card. You can install a SATA as an extra drive as long as you have a hardware controller for it.

Did you change something or did this problem just start?  If you changed something, does the problem go away if you change it back?\n\n1) Is each drive connected to the power supply?\n2) Is each drive connected to an IDE cable?\n3) If two drives are sharing an IDE cable (hard drives and/or optical drives), does one have jumper set to "master" and the other have jumper set to "slave"?  Alternatively, if supported by your motherboard, are both drives jumpered to "Cable Select"?\n4) Are your IDE cables connected correctly?  The colored stripe should be connected to the number 1 pin on the motherboard and on each drive.\n5) While you are checking the cable, are there any broken or bent pins on either drive or the motherboard?\n6) Go into setup or observe your computer while it is booting.  Are both drives recognized by the BIOS?  If not, is your BIOS compatible with your hard drives?  For example, Pentium 1 motherboard BIOS-s do not support large hard drives.  \n7) If you've reached this point, you can rule out most hardware problems.  Can you run FDISK, Partion Magic, or similar program and see valid partitions on your drives?\n8) Are your partitions correctly formatted?\n9) Do you have a valid boot sector?\n10) Do you have a valid operating system installed?\n\nThat's about all I can think of to check now.  If your drives still don't work, let us know how far you get down this list.

Nope, if windows XP doesnt recognise the raid you will need to d/ownload the drives. If you don't have the drivers windows will not recognise teh drive. You need to do a search on google for the Sata drivers, if its on board try looking on the Motherboards manfacturers website.

Eight USB 2.0 ports \n One serial port \n One parallel port \n Four Serial ATA interfaces \n One parallel ATA IDE interface with UDMA 33, ATA-66/100 support \n One diskette drive interface  \n PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports\n\n\nSeems to me the board will support both types of drives.  I think the problem is, your utlra drive is a 133 and is not supported as a parallel device.  ( It does support the lower versions.) I guess your just trying to find a solution.  Unfortunatley, you would need a real SATA drive for the SATA port.

Same and JeffAv above.  SCSI are faster than IDE but you need a SCSI card reader. Nice feature about SCSI is that you can daisy chain (put multiple) hard drives all on the same card.

Re-boot and go into the Bios and see if they are being recognized there.  If not, try a different power connector from the power supply. It sounds like the drives aren't even getting power. It's hard to believe both drives could go bad at once.  Even if the IDE Controller went bad, the drive tray will still open as long as it's getting power.

Assuming you are talking about IDE drives, which you probably are, you set the jumpers on the second one to slave.  Generally the first one is allready set correctly.\n\nThe jumper is a little plastic piece on the back of the drive, there is usually a picture of how to set them on the top of the drive.  If you want the new one to run your operating system, you will need to load it on the new drive.\n\nYou probably don't want to do that.\n\nAnyway, set the jumpers, plug in the power and ribbon cables, and that is about it.  Or pay Compuhut $100 for 5 minutes worth of labor.  Your choice.

the short answer is the HD you have will connect to the motherboard you have.\n\nthe long answer is that there are 2 standards of connectors\n\nSata = Serial ATA \nPata = Parallel ATA used to be called only ATA before the pata was introduced few years ago.\n\ndevice that is not clearly marked sata is most probably pata.\n\n[edit]\n\nthe best speed of read and write you will get from sata 2 which is 300 MB/S.\n\nA good solution will be to connect 2 HDD in what is called raid 0 (striping)

it depends on the motherboard.  find out the manufacturer and model number, then go to it's website for tech specs.  usually its ide or sata but you never know...

You would need a new system. Your motherboard most probably does not use SATA.  By a new system I mean new motherboard, hard drive, memory, and of course CPU. All the other stuff you can simply transfer over, like cd or dvd drives, video & sound cards. Most of the new comps can handle up to 2gigs of DDR Ram. It might be a good idea to invest in a new system that is Microsoft Vista ready.

Sata-1 would be a good place for the primary drive. When you expand add to 2, 3 , etc.

There is nothing else you need to do. It should have worked. \n\nTry to see if the drive is visible from the bios when you start the system. It might be that there is a conflict with some other device that is sharing the same IDE cable. Try changing it from master to slave or the opposite! (there is a little jumper on the back of the drive for doing this).

no, it's not worth. the difference between IDE (ATA-6) and SATA is that little, so you wouldn't see any performance improvement.

this depends on your motherboard.  You should be able to do it, though.  Make sure you set windows up on the SATA drive before installing the others.

As long as the IDE cable in installed correctly (some will allow it to be upside down) and the power plug is fully inserted (only goes in one way). The OS will automatically install the IDE drivers...

I don't think if your using a SATA harddrive, it has to be in RAID.  Below is a link for your motherboard.  You can download the manual.
