    What kind of help do you need? Your motherboard should support SATA drives. Just get a cheap 200GB SATA drive. It should be around $70 on sale.

    SATA or regular IDE shouldn't matter if YOU don't have a preference. Pretty much all brands now have about same failure rates, so just get some 7200 with 8megs or higher cache and the best warranty.

    The only real advantage to using Sata drives is that leaves your IDe ports for more optical drives.
