Sadly, Yes...

The last few times I tried to install Fedora with my old IDE drive and a 
SATA drive installed, I found that the drive labels where scrambled on 
the resulting install even though the Installer worked perfectly otherwise.

The only solutions I found where:

1. Manually re-edit the drive info files so they where correct.

2. Install the OS on the SATA while the IDE was disconnected, then 
reconnect IDE after the OS is known working and assign the drive.

I'm now working with option 3. Get a bigger SATA and don't worry about 
the IDE anymore. :P
