Default serial ata and ide together


I'm going to be building a new computer soon, for use mainly for video
editing. The motherboard I want to use supports both serial ata and standard
ide hard drives. Is it possible to use one of each? I have a 7200 rpm ide
drive on hand I was planning on using as my "c: drive to hold my programs
and I saw a serial ata drive on sale. Would I be able to use the serial ata
drive for my "d" drive to hold my video files? I understand the serial ata
drives are faster so using that for my files I assume would be the best way
to go. I'm just not sure if I can use both drives together on the same
system. Thanks for your help.

Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.

Third day in a row...exact same question from the exact same poster. Your
two previous postings of this question got a thread of responses. I would
ask if you need help using your newsreader to follow a thread, however, if
you do, you'd never see this either.

Sorry. Some kind of glitch or something. I never was able to see that my
first attempt was posted until after the second one. In the past I've had
posts not show up and thought it happened again.
