My laptop is HP NC6230, my HDD is nearly died and would like to buy new one, I'm not sure whether it supports SATA or no.

This model is still fairly new. The website shows it having a 3 year warranty.

If you have a SATA hard disk now, it will support SATA, but if it has an IDE hard disk now, it will only support IDE.

Then you can only get an ATA-6 hard disk. You will still notice a significant improvement if you upgrade to a 7200 RPM ATA-6 hard disk from a 4200 RPM or 5400 RPM.
