Motherboard it has an onboard raid controller. As for the BIOS update no,
but I've never tried to tinker with the BIOS before cause ive heard if you
screw it up your motherboard is toast.

the bios is the same one that the motherboard came with. When I tried to
install Fedora I created a 50gb /root drive, a 2gb swap, and a 100mb /boot.
There has been something that has been bugging me on this computer though.
When I install windows I run into an issue by where I can't install it onto
one of the faster drives, rather im stuck installing it on the pata drive.
Could this be similar to the issue you were referring to about the boot
loader? And if so how would I go about resolving it?

I would try to create the /boot partition on the PATA drive and tell GRUBG
to install to the MBR of the PATA drive. It sounds like the BIOS does not
map the SATA drives. If this is the case, you need the entire boot loader on
the PATA drive.

Dumb question - do the SATA drives connect to the motherboard, or do they
connect to an add-on card?

Have you checked for a BIOS update to your machine? If the SATA controller
is on the motherboard, there may be a BIOS update that may fix this problem.
