    please elaborate. if i understand, you are currently using the Segate SATA drive, and you bought a new Maxtor PATA (old style) drive?

    if that is the case, you will certianly be able to use the maxtor, just make sure you set the jumper correctly when you install it, and check the hard drive boot order in the BIOS so it still boots to your SATA windows drive.
