I bought an external Sans Digital 4 disk box TR4M6GNC but only the first disk shows. I've done some reading and it seems that chip SB950 will support eSata port multiplying if I reinstall Windows 7 in AHCI mode. Am I on the right track?

Thanks


Oops, I think I posted in the wrong place :(

Update---------------

So after fiddling with some BIOS settings I "almost" got it working. I now have 2 lights on the front of the box, 1 for each of the 2 hard drives.

If I boot into Paragon Hard Disk Manager I can see/partition both drives. My problem now is Win7 only sees the first drive. Disk Management and Paragon Hard Disk Manager (under Win7) only see the first drive.

I got it to work.

In the BIOS>Storage Configuration
SATA Mode=AHCI Mode
AMD AHCI BIOS ROM=Enabled
SATA IDE Combined Mode=Disabled

eSATA>External SATA Port=Enabled

Turn the SANS Digital box on after Windows is completely up
