For most SATA drives you need to load 3rd party SATA drivers .. youll prolly need a floppy drive ... the installer wont recognize the SATA drives until you load these 3rd party boottime drivers. As for PATA, that refers to Parallel ATA ... "old style" IDE ... you keep saying "IDE" ... but thats incredibly vague because both SATA and PATA are apart of the IDE spec.
