    As long as your Computer supports both SATA and IDE...There will be no conflict between them. You can use both of them and to set the Master drive, you have to prioritise from BIOS...Set the HDD on number 1 on which you wants to install win ;)

    no, as Karan said, but you will need a SATA controller, unless you already have one
