Hi

Hello,

I have Asus A7N8X Deluxe Motherboard with onboard SATA controller. I
have a long experience using Fedora on this hardware but I never used
SATA drives, only IDE. Now I got one, and decided to install Fedora7 on
a new drive. I heard a lot of scary stories about installing windows on
the boxes with SATA controllers, so I'm just curious -- are there any
surprises I should be ready for, comparing to installation with the
regular PATA hard drive?

I'm using SATA drives without any problem from FC1 up to now, both x66_64 and i386. One of my box is built around the same MoBo and I've installed a pletora of different GNU/Linux with this in the SATA drives.

I've used SATA disks from Samsung (very reliable) Maxtor (2 years life before crash) an now WD

 

HTH

 

PS: I've experienced problems with Windows XP installer when the SATA disk was filled up with Linux partitions
