1. can I use an IDE hard drive together with a SATA hard drive all togther?
Yes, you can get IDE to SATA converters and put it on a SATA port.
Thanks for the suggestion. where can I get this converters?
If you have any free PCI slots, an IDE controllor would be better.

An External USB enclosure would also work just fine, as metioned.
A SATA to IDE converter is a hit and miss kind of a deal. Since the
SATA spec does not require implementation of certian Legacy IDE
functions.
You should be able to pick up the IDE controller or usb enclosure
locally.
