jradams76,
The HD would have to be formatted, so would the files would need to be juggled around.
if you remove a HD from a naslite machine and place in to a pc you will need to run a program to read the filesystem.
Wilbur another member here uses his NAS for streaming HD to his HTPC and he encounters no problems and he is using the PATA.

I use TheaterTek within MCE2005 with the Nvidia codecs and stream my HD material cleanly, my NAS is based on a modern socket A motherboard and the PATA disks are UDMA100, my old DMA66 were a bit stuttery for HD but streamed normal dvd files ok, I too will upgrade my movie disks to SATA when Vers 2.0 comes out
Now the trick for you when you build your NAS is put your new empty SATA into your NAS and format it, when thats done copy the contents from your old full SATA drive still in your windows pc to it, and when thats done put the old drive in the NAS and format that, giving you two drives and all your data, and you only moved the data once
Good luck and I hope you decide to purchase, NASlite is a great way of centrally storing all your data so your pc's around the house or office only need smaller cooler running drives.
