I have a 80 GB Parallel ATA and a newly installed 250 GB SATA-2 HDD (but my Motherboard supports only SATA). Now my Windows XP is installed in the PATA HDD, will it make any difference if I reinstall it in the SATA drive?
PATA vs SATA 2, will Windows XP boot faster?
P
Yes sata-2 is faster than PATA. u can benchmark the read and write speed through this software

For sure the faster SATA 2 will result in not just a faster boot-up, but also a faster comp after that...
