Or there's plan c - buy a SATA card to plug into your motherboard.


SATA card:

This is the only one I see that recognizes the existence of non Microsoft operating systems [there are some that mention Apple OSX] but do I care? This one has a raid function [which I don't need] that might require MS software but I would expect a controller card to just work except possibly for some change in the BIOS settings?


             HighPoint ROCKETRAID1520 W/O PCI SATA Controller Card -

       *Operating Systems Supported:* Windows 98 / ME / NT4.0 / 2K / XP
       / 2003 Linux (SuSE, Red Hat), and FreeBSD


It looks to me like a $15 or $20 card ought to work by just plugging it in without Windows but I need reassurance.

Does anyone know for certain?

Bob



Run away from that card, supported by linux typically means that they include
a driver in the box.

Any of the Sil* based cards should work, and should be really really cheap (<$30).
