It's entirely possible that no one has an answer for you. Since you
failed to restate your problem your chances of help are even less.

It's good to see you're enjoying yourself though.

I am running 3 SATA drives in my system.
I have a 250gig Western Digital
a 250 gig Maxtor
and a 200 gig Seagate.
Originally I had the 2 250gig drives setup as a RAID on the Nvidia
controller in stripe mode and it worked without a problem. Threw in
the Seagate, hooked it up as the 3rd SATA drive on the Nvidia
controller, also worked like a charm. Over the weekend I was bored,
so killed the RAID drive and setup up the 2 250 gigs as single drives.
Took a bit of doing to get them back to blank factory setting but got
it done. Setup Win XP pro SP2. Did not add any drivers during the
install and went without a problem. After install, did all my drivers,
the latest Nvidia chipset drivers. I did not install the Nvidia audio
drivers, nor the firewall. I find that the Nvidia sound srivers from
the latest release have a few problems so I installed the Asus
drivers. I had to install the Nvidia RAID driver, came up as unknown
device in device manager. My computer is running great with all three
drives humming away. I did however turn off the Sil RAID controller in
bios. My config:

A8N-SLI delux
AMD 3500+
2x512meg Corsair ram
MSI NX6600GT video card
LG GSA 4040B DVD drive
Pioneer DVR 108 DVD drive
1x western digital 250gig SATA (single) NRAID
1x maxtor 250gig SATA (single) NRAID
1x Seagate 200 gig SATA (single) NRAID
Thermaltake 480 Watt power supply
Thermaltake K8 CPU cooler.
