I don't really understand your question compeletly, but I have an 80 gig IDE drive (for music), and a 250 sata, and they both work fine.

Depends, you can either delete the partitions (heh i typed petition) and either repartition when installing the OS or if its just a data drive, once inside windows you can just format the drive you want to wipe.
