My motherboard has one IDE channel, and two SATA channels. I currently have an IDE hdd with Ubuntu 9.04 in the master position, and an IDE CD drive as slave. Windows XP is on a SATA hdd. Grub is on the Ubuntu drive.

I want to install a Promise FastTrak 100 TX2 ATA/RAID card and run the IDE hdd through it. The reason is logistics (cable length), and because the hdd will have better performance on its own channel.

I'm remounting the drives due to poor airflow, so I thought this would be a good time to do this. I don't want to do any kind of RAID array. I just want to use the card as an IDE adapter.

So I need to know how to install drivers, and in what order to do things. I am also wondering whether any Windows drivers for the card need to be installed on the Windows hdd. I don't write anything to the Ubuntu drive while running Windows XP.

The motherboard has an intel 915 chipset, if it matters.
