      IDE and ATA is the same thing (IDE old name for it but the one people still generally use). You won't be able to upgrade to SATA though

      Futhermore a lot of older computers like that won't take a hard drive bigger than 10gig so I wouldn't risk forking out any extra money for what is going to be an old and obsolete used hard drive.

      You shouldn't have any trouble installing XP but it will run slow. Have you considered using Linux or is that not an option?

          ive thought about using linux,but tryin to find cctv software for
          linux is like tryin to find a needle in a haystack,also i dont know if the dvr card will be compatable to run on linux,as far as i know
          the card works on win98 me,not tried it on xp pro,the dvr card is
          a jmk dvr card model number sk-2000f
