MSI RS480M-IL question

[concernedsophist]

I was wondering if you need to have a floppy drive to run a sata hdd on this board in a non-raid configuration. I have built a nf4 boad before and it just booted up and detected the sata drive as an ide drive. Can I do the same for this board on the ati chipset?

I didn't need to load any drivers for my SATA hard drive http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822145082
