Using SATA Drive in ultrabay slim as primary master

[Protaeus]

Hi,

I have been trying to source a 7k100 or 7200.1 hard disk for my T43 for a while now, but I am having no luck getting PATA versions of the drives. However, I have noticed that it is possible to get a SATA ultrabay slim hard disk tray.

What I am thinking of doing then is to get an ultrabay slim SATA tray and install either a 7k200, 7200.2 or a SATA version of the 7k100 or 7200.1 and use it as the boot drive, instead of the original hard disk.

Will this be possible?

Thanks

I don't think it has to be primary master to be booted off of. And I don't think you can change it to primary (not that you need to).
