P4P800 Deluxe - can it work with only 1 HD on S-ATA?

[Sentinelk9]

I'm trying to figure out if I can get the mobo to work with just an S-ATA 120Gb Seagate HD. I tried reading the manual for the mobo (I haven't gotten the components yet... I want to make sure before I get them) but it doesn't really say much. But there seems to be an error message listed that says "no hard-drive found on IDE."

So I'm confused.... do I need an HD on the IDE even if I have a HD on SATA ???

Ok give me a list of what drives you are running and what interface they are on.

Yes, one SATA drive will work.

Yes it will work, you just have to set it up properly in the BIOS depending on what OS you are using. I just tried hooking up a 120 gig WD using a P-ATA to S-ATA adapeter and it worked fine.
