Install Vista from SATA DVD drive?



Hi,

I've just ordered all the bits and pieces for my new build and am struck by
the sudden fear that the mobo won't be able to use the SATA drive without
SATA drivers, so how will I install Vista from the DVD?

Or are drivers only required for SATA hard discs?

I suppose if the worst comes to the worst I will have to use an ATA drive
for the install? Is that the best/only option?

TIA!

Pete
