What is the differemce between ATA100 and UDMA100? Are they the same thing or both different? I'm asking this because i just bought some new ATA100 round IDE cables and won't to know whether they'll fit my UDMA100 40GB and 30GB HDD.

Same thing. ATA is the drive spec. UDMA is ULTRA DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS on the motherboard needed to talk to the ATA 100 disk drive.

Agree with above, will work fine.
