In order to use a SATA HDD on your mobo you need to get a Serial ATA PCI Controller card such as this one available from Directron.

Yep, all you need is a SATA PCI card...make sure you get power adapters as well, I ordered a few SATA PCI cards at work and none of them came with power adapters.

You can also get an adapter to run your IDE HD off your SATA controler.
