Can you still use your regular IDE bus line if you enable your onboard RAID function?

Yes, but normally the IDE will still be the primary in the boot sequence

The onboard RAID is usually limited to work with either IDE or SATA.

You can use both bus lines together at any time ... but RAID will only work with one or the other, depending on the board you have.

You cannot normally transfer RAID capability from SATA to IDE or vice versa.

Yes. It is supported to maintain the ability to use your CD/DVD-ROM drives.
