    SATA to PATA converter aren't the best option to use. The converter's help in interchanging the ports but then speed is highly degraded. Also it is not 100% sure that it will work. Specially when you need to install and run an OS on it. An operating system is the core program which is constantly in process and used and this will not work on the hard disk where a converter is used. I suggest you use a native PATA hard disk or SATA hard disk according to the slots available on your motherboard.
