I've read various different things from people .. some say you don't need the drivers and it will install fine. Some people say just select IDE as your hard drive and it will install, some say they are on a SP2 disc, etc. etc.
I'm confused and only ever built PATA | IDE systems.
Can anyone help me \ confirm if I will or won't run into problems, and if so how to overcome them.
Thanks, Danny.

If you run it as IDE you should be fine yes. If you are running raid you can't select IDE "Just making sure you know that and don't come back like I couldn't run my raid as ide :P ".
