MS-7060 Ver1 Motherboard

Hi,

I´m no computer expert but I´ve upgraded my system an now I have been put
before a new challenge!
I have a friend who is the owner of a computer based on the motherborad
listed above (MS-7060 Ver1) which came with a 40GB harddisk. He want´s to
replace the ide disk with a 320 GB Sata II WD hard disk. My questions are
the following:
1 - What is the maximum size allowed?
2 - Is Sata II supported by this motherboard?
3- Can I use the Sata drive as the only hard disk installed, or do I
have to use the ide as a boot drive?

Best regards

Jonas

P.S. Forgive my bad English!

"Supports 2 Serial ATA 150 ports w/ RAID 0, RAID 1"

He is limited to SATA "I." There would be little, if any, real world
preformance improvement over the present IDE drive. For the sake of
ease, I'd leave the present drive where it was, and add the second one.

I'm unaware of a HD size limit.
