Default Sata question

Hi all,

my friend is selling a 80Gb Maxtor 7200Rpm Sata1 drive.

im thinking of buying it and adding it in my system.

i checked my motherboard and it has 2 sata ports.

1 is black saying Sata 1
the other is white and says Sata2

will i have any problems installing this drive?
will i need drivers before my system reconises the drive because i would like to install windows on the Sata drive and use my other 120Gb IDE drive just for storage.
