The drive (ie. disk) does not matter. What matters is the SATA 
controller. I still doubt whether RH9 would recognise any SATA 
controller unless you install a rather recent kernel (atleast 2.4.23 IIRC).

In any case why do you want to install RH9 now? Its obsolete.
Get Fedora Core 3/4. If you need more stability and can spend some 
money, get RHEL4 or otherwise some clone like CentOS.
