hi to all,

Can SATA HDD be install as a primary and only HDD in a system?
THat means as a C: and no other IDE hdd installed.

Sorry if this is a silly question but I have recently done so and begining
to suspect that the poor performance of my 2.8 p4 system was due to that.

please advice.

thanks

Yes. SATA hard drives are one physical drive per channel.

Have you installed the correct chipset drivers ?
 
That is exactly how I have my system set up, and I do not need to
install any drivers during setup to make it work either.
 
If the SATA controller is also a RAID controller, you may need to install RAID
drivers.
