IDE / SATA drive, how to set it up

Hi,  I have a Gigabyte GA-8I848P motherboard with 2 IDE hard disks.  One of the disks has just died so I thought I'd get a SATA disk to use a primary and keep the remaining good IDE disk for data storage.  

Does anybody know if this is possible to do (Run SATA and IDE together), are there any special settings I need to set in the BIOS.  I've looked at the instructions but it just states:

On-chip SATA
Disabled Disable SATA controller.
Auto When no dev ice is plugged in IDE1 or IDE2, SATA controller will remap to IDE
controller. (Default v alue)
Manual Set SATA Mode manually.
SATA Port0 Configure as
IDE Pri. Master Remap SATA Port 0 to IDE Pri. Master.
IDE Pri. Slav e Remap SATA Port 0 to IDE Pri. Slav e.
IDE Sec. Master Remap SATA Port 0 to IDE Sec. Master.
IDE Sec . Slav e Remap SATA Port 0 to IDE Sec. Slav e.
SATA Port0 SATA controller set to SATA port0. As this mode, it support by WinXP or 字串2
later OS only . (Default v alue)
SATA Port1 SATA controller set to SATA port1. As this mode, it support by WinXP or
later OS only .
SATA Port1 Configure as
The v alues depend on SATA Port0.

Any Ideas.

Yes it is possible. Just today I temporarily installed a suspected faulty IDE drive with a SATA primary drive. However I used the CD/DVD ribbon & power cable for the connection. I just had to set the correct Boot Priority in the BIOS.
