SATA & PATA in the same box (cross post)

Sorry for the cross post (from Hexus Help), but not sure which forum best for this query...

I am building a pc based on an AMD FX53 and MSI K8N Neo2 m/b and wanted to know whether it is possible to have an SATA HD and a PATA HD running alongside eack other without probs - the SATA (a Seagate) would be the boot/apps drive, and the PATA (also a Seagate Barracuda/8Mb cache) would simply be storage.

Need to get this baby up and running b4 HL2 hits the shelves (hard to preload without an HD...)


TIA

Yes of course it is :)

Monster!
