I recently purchased a new motherboard with only one IDE connector. So I purchased a Hard drive that uses a Serial connection. But I also bought a DVD burner but that uses an IDE connector. So I was wondering if I am going to have a problem having my system boot up from the Serial Hard Drive since the DVD drive is hooked up to the IDE connector. Since I have never used a serial hdd I dont know how the system is going to react. I was thinking that it might think the DVD drive is the harddrive and wont let me do anything like installing the OS. Is that the case? I hope some of you have experience with this, because I need to know.
