Serial SATA and EIDE ATA

Can a MoBo utilise both types of interface/drives?

EIDE ATA drive and SATA serial drive concurrently?

MoBo: NForce3-A ATX Skt 754 has sockets for noth and both may be
enable/disabled via BIOS.

Thanks again folks

 

yes

 

If you can boot from a CD you can boot off of an EIDE harddrive. Most
new MoBo's even support booting off of USB.

Yes, boot off USB is possible, but Windows won't boot off of a USB. (Just
thought I'd toss that in there so the OP doesn't think he want's to try it.)

 

Sure - I do that. One drive (the SATA) has my working install of XP on it,
the other (IDE) has Vista beta 2 on it. My BIOS allows me to select drives
when booting, or of course, I could have set up a boot menu in Windows. (I
didn't do the Windows boot menu because I didn't want Vista even TOUCHING my
working install <g>!)

 

Sorry, I assumed you had the competence for critical thinking. My
bad... won't happen again. To add to the long list of yes's... Yes,
new motherboard (Supporting Athlon, P4, est.) can use SATA, EIDE, USB,
and FIREWIRE drives all.. at.. the.. same.. time...

Yes. Assuming the mother board has the resourses.
