They will still run at SATA 2.

Just means you don't need to install the drivers when installing an OS IIRC...

ive just tryed to install vista while it was on ide sata but it freezes when it enters the first bit of the setup...

any ideas why.

Can you install it without that option selected?

Is it a rebuild or new PC you are putting together?
