I use IDE mode. It works perfectly fine. You might want to try AHCI mode for your SATA. If not, IDE should work. When you boot from the nawcom cd, you put it in, boot form cd, select the hard drive partition with mac osx on it, and thats all. You may want to enter some boot flags to get it working but try none at first. If that doesn't work you will have to reinstall. Check my other post to see how I got mine working. It may help.
