Yes you can use the two hard disks at the same time but the only problem is that there isnt any converter for sata and ide so which means that you will have to get a motherboard with sata port on it

You don't have to buy a new motherboard!



You can buy a PCI card which adds SATA ports to your computer.  Going on eBay for about £5
