IDE Drives Don't Mount

[Guest]

Odd thing happening lately. I have a RAID level 0 SATA setup
(awesome!) and also use 2 IDE drives on the IDE controllers. Worked
very well. Lately I've been booting up and the IDE drives cannot be
found. The only way to get them to mount and be seen is to turn all
the power off (including power supply), leave it off for a minute,
then boot up again. Chances are that it will likely boot up with the
drives being seen. Anyone see this strange behavior before?

My setup:

A7N8X-E Deluxe (great board!)
1.8GHz AMD
1.5 GB RAM
Two 250 GB Maxtor SATA
Two IBM Deskstar 60GB on IDE chain
ATI AIW 128 Video
FIrewire controller

I have a similar set-up, but only a single IDE drive. Which IDE controllers
are you using? I found the Nvidia ones a bit flakey, and use the standard MS
ones instead.

It might worth trying, as it only takes a few minutes to do so.

Personnally with a similar hd setup I've not had a problem with Nvidia
drivers, allthough my sys runs 24/7 and I only reboot if I get a problem,
which is rarely.
I'm assuming you dont really mean 'mount' the drives as this is a completely
different proccess than the std. setup.
Check cables are securely connected, is yr psu up to it?
I trust you havent used winupdate for drivers?
