IDE and SATA HD's installed on same mobo?

[calpolyarc]

mobo = P4C800 E Deluxe
IDE HD = Seagate Barracuda, contains OS, Win XP Pr
SATA HD = Seagate Barracuda

Originally this computer had 2 sata hd's, then the one with the OS burned up... I couldn't get the BIOS to recognize the remaining sata drive when I was reinstalling win xp. I hooked up an old ide hd and the bios did recognize it so I was able to install windows. I still for the life of me can't get the BIOS to recognize the remaining sata drive. I flashed the bios.

So my question is, is it even possible to have an IDE and SATA HD installed at the same time? If it is possible, then what do you think I'm missing? Perhaps the remaining sata hd got burnt too!

Thanks.

yeah it's ok sata and Ide together is ok.

what do you mean missing ?, on a side note, my Foxconn mobo (in the Bios) see only 1 sata (when i have 2 installed). But when i enter windows or installing windows the secondary sata is there. i just dunno why Bios cant see it, i tried upgrading Bios also but that didn't help
