A caveat: often built-in SATA doesn't play well with a
UDMA PCI expansion card). They seem to fight for the address
space used by their respective BIOS's. That is likely
not your situation, but it can be irritating when it
crops up. Also, remember to make sure that SATA is
enabled in the BIOS and that the drives are properly
recognized on boot up.
As an additional note -- it is possible that if you're
copying over boot drives, you could run into problems
if the OS is Win98, WinME, and/or Win2K because they
pre-data SATA. It is possible also depending upon
your hardware configuration that WinXP balks as well.
Don't have any experience directly with that because
I've always done clean installs when converting the
boot drive to SATA, and then I usually did the F6
thing.
