    Using SATA and ATA HD

    I have 2 hard drives, 1 is a WD 80gb IDE hd, and the other is a Seagate 80gb SATA hard drive

    Recently my WD hd messed up so I decided to backup the files,
    so I purchased the Seagate SATA hard drive.
    Can I combine both a IDE hd and a SATA hard drive in the same system? How can I go about accessing the files on my ATA hd?

    Do I put the IDE hard drive as my slave drive?

    thanks in advance
