I don't see why it wouldn't work. If you have the cash to buy it, go for it.

I have yet to see a 100% Full Fledge SATA Drive, but ive read they make adapters for ide --> sata?

IIRC Western Digital have released a couple of SATA drives, but theyre somewhat expensive, and yeah Abit make adaptors to plug IDE drives in to a SATA controller (to bundle with their mobos with integrated SATA controlers no doubt)

Do you have the latest drivers for the controller card?

Do you have the latest BIOS for both your BP6 and your controllercard?

Wrong drive geometry?

hello,

i had a similar problem with a promise controler and 120 GB ATA drives

the ru bios without HTP366 code solves the boot problem

try this bios revision BP6 RU Without HPT
