You can have both running at the same time.
Depending on the BIOS of the board, sometimes you have to boot off of the
IDE controller if there is an IDE hard drive. In my experience this is
usually a problem for older boards (Pentium & PII), and newer boards have
a BIOS that will let you select IDE or SCSI for the boot device.
