If you mean install windows on a HDD using PATA then hooking it up
to your SATA connector using an adapter perhaps or cloning it or whatever
means
I cant see why not
sure go for it
to eliminate any unforseen problems , if I were you
I would enable the SATA controller 1st and make sure windows see's it and
installs the relevant drivers
then shutdown
hook-up the drive and restart
