Can anyone help? I've just upgraded to F10 from F8 in the hope that it would solve this.
I have 6 hard drives and a DVD writer in my system. 5 of the drives are SATA and one is IDE.
I only use the ICH connectors (blue) as I use the GSATA ports purely for external SATA drives.
Recently, my one IDE drive has been going offline from time to time and I'd have to re-boot to get it to show up again. Now it just doesn't show at all. First I thought that it was failing so I replaced it with another (both WD caviar) and it's doing the same. Obviously this is plugged in to the single IDE connector on the board and uses the correct cable and jumpers set correctly on each drive.
My BIOS shows 10 IDE slots (0 through 5) which I'm assuming are the 10 SATA ports.
The first 6 show all my 5 WD SATA drives and the DVD writer and the last 4 show 'NONE' (I presume these are the 4 GSATA slots which are currently unoccupied)
So where should the IDE master and slave show up in the BIOS? As far as I can tell (power supply and heat permitting) you could have 12 drives plugged in using all 10 SATA and 2 IDE. But the BIOS only reports 10 slots?
Anyone for some help please?
