I had a system with 1 dvd writer, one HD on the IDE and one RAID 0 setup (boot drive).
Well something happend (unknown what happend at this time) and my raid drives became unavailable, so I tried booting up using the ide drive which happen to have an old copy of windows.
Well now BIOS is saying there are NO bootable drives attached so I power down double check the connections and power up again. During POST I notice BIOS doesn't mention the ide drive (it sees the dvd-writer just fine).
After further testing I found that from IDE 0-IDE 4 only IDE 1 recognizes there is a device pluged in.
I seem to be getting adequate power and the cables are definitely plugged in. POST gives no errors and I've tried a known good ide drive to no avail.
I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas before I spend much more effort trying to find a copy of this motherboard (since nothing else will read this raid).
