Hello,

I've a computer with 4 year old motherboard (MSI 694D Pro).
This motherboard contain 2 standard Ultra DMA100 port and a Promise Fastrack
100 Raid controller.

Here is the list of the drive on the motherboard:
- connected on the promise Fastrack 100 : two hard disk (60 GB each) in Raid
mirroring
- connected on the 2 standard Ultra DMA100 : a DVD reader, a DVD writer, a
200 GB disk (ultra dma 100) and a 120 GB Disk (ultra dma 100) .

This computer is to be user under Windows XP (and future version of Windows)

Can I buy an asus P5AD2 deluxe and :

- connect the DVD reader and the burner on the intel IDE port
- connect all hard disk to the IT8212.


(as I understand, the IT8212 is only for hard disk)



I want continue to have the 60 GB disk mirrored, and the 200 and 120 GB disk
as independant disk.
Is it possible ? And is it possible without reformat the disk ?

And can I boot on the 200 or 120 GB disk connected on the IT8212 ?


Of course, Sata is nice for future, but I don't want buy new disk at this
time for this computer.
