have done so.Does the SATA adaptor need to be connected to the CD-Rom drive when loading XP. or can they be converted after XP install.

when you do not want to use the Cd-rom you can remove it
You can use one IDE connector to connect both HD - or you can connect both Cd-rom by keeping any of them in master or slave mode
But you cannot use one IDE connector to connect HD & Cd-rom.
