Solaris, FreeBSD, and Mandrake on SATA?
Solaris 10, FreeBSD 6.1, and Mandrake Linux 2006 to be exact.....
Will these all install on a SATA drive or should I buy an IDE instead? I can make a driver floppy disk from my mobo disk but Windows didn't need it when it installed on my other SATA. I am planning on getting these OSs on my comp over the next few weeks (or whenever I get some cash for 2 new drives, currently only have the 250GB partitioned with XP Home x86 and storage on the other partition) 80GB SATA: XP Home x86 XP Pro x64 second 80GB SATA or 80GB IDE: Solaris, Free BSD, Mandrake 250GB SATA: NTFS file system storage (as it is now) and I was playing wiht the idea of Windows 98 somewhere too but idk Why do this you ask? because I friggin can that's why!

FreeBSD and Mandrake should install without a hitch. Solaris might need a driver, I am not sure how advanced sata support is on the x86 version. They will all install on an IDE setup though, I can almost gurantee it.

ive never used Free BSD or Solaris so I though I'd ask......any idea if it's possible to get 98 to work on SATA?

Yea but alot of what I do requires Windows......and XP in the OS I know, hence me getting these others to learn them....XP is what I primarily use, at least until I can afford a MacBook
