Hell, I'm in the same boat as the OP. I have three physical disks in  
the system and two of them are PATA disks. If the system at least had  
told me that it was seeing two PATA disks and one SATA, that would  
have helped, but no, all it told me was that it had three ATA disks in  
the system. I agree, the system should tell you more when installing!
