I've got 1 SATA HDD,2 PATA HDD, 1 SATA DVD Drive. My SATA drive is the boot drive, but my PATA drives are only being detected in the BIOS and not when windows opens. Please help!
Specs:
Windows XP
Motherboard: ASUS M2N68-AM-SE2
Motherboard has 2 IDE ports and 2 SATA ports
The boot is taking extremely long and so is the time taken to enter BIOS. I'm being stuck at the boot screen for like half an hour.

Yes, the settings are enabled and the master/slave settings are fine. Previously i had a 250w power supply,with which the 3 HDDs worked fine for like 2 years, but recently and it couldnt take up the load of all the 3 HDDs. So, i disconnected the 2 PATA HDD, bought a 500W power supply and connected them. The result was the issue that I've posted...
