the master/slave relationship that existed with IDE is not applicable for SATA stuff.

if i read that correctly, you have one sata and one IDE drive? Then i also would suggest some sort of an add-in card with an IDE port, pci or pci-e. Adapters like the one i linked would probably be flaky.

edit: thats if you really MUST use that ide drive. best solution is just to spend $50 on a new sata drive to replace it... if its IDE i'm assuming its very old, and its definitely going to be slow.
