Yes.

No the SATA drive had nothing to do with the drive letter issue. I'm not
entirely sure I understood your description of the failure. If it was
just a drive letter swap, you could have fixed this from the preboot menu.

If this is not intuitive from the menu prompts, the installation guide
manual is on your CD.

It appears that your SATA drive was supported by the version of Danis506
that shipped with eCS 1.2. This will not always be the case. SATA is a
moving target.

For unsupported SATA drives, one can use the BOOT_UPDATE diskette feature
to use a newer version of Dani's driver.
