I am not sure what version of windows you are using, but I was able to get XP to recognize SATA2 for install without third party drivers, so copying the image from the PATA to the SATA drive may actually work for your situation, provided you remove the PATA drive from the computer to ensure it doesn't pick it up first, or set your boot order.
If you are installing Fedora, then it will setup the boot record correctly on the SATA drive and the first time you boot into windows it will automatically read the SATA drive. I hope this helps. :)

That would work to get windows on that slice, but wouldnt solve his problem of
getting the sata driver into windows. I think there is some way to do that.
But don't ask me how, I haven't touched a windows box in 2+ years.
