K8T800 Neo and the 3th IDE port

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.msi-microstar (More info?)

Got myself an MSI K8T800 Neo Board and i'm happy with it but there is one
thing i can't get working like it should and that is the 3th IDE port.
I have 3 HD's and 2 CD players installed. the first and second HD as master
and slave on the 1st IDE, the Burner and a normal CD player as master and
slave on the second IDE, so far so good. My thirth HD (which contains
backups, tools, various patches etc) is connected to the 3th IDE.
Problem is that in about 75% of the startups i don't have access to this
harddrive. Windows doesn't seem to see it and therefore it is not listed. In
the other 25% it is listed and accessable and it then works flawless (the HD
nor the cable are faulty, both have been replaced and double checked).
I have no clue on what to do to get that drive viewable all the time and the
manual is not clear on this. Anyone?
