If you start why not with Fedora 9 it newer so it is likely that it detect the Sata drive out of the box
What do you mean setup BIOS for Plug and Play I only knew from a other OS .
If you have a USB drive anaconda give you the option to install on the USB drive If its recognize the USB drive
and also will ask you where to write GRUB
