I have an Asus p5wd2-e motherboard. Connected to the IDE connector in the middle of the motherboard I have 2 DVD burners. I have one SATA hard drive in SATA port 1. Lastly I have 2 hard drives connected to the EIDE port at the bottom. My problem is the bios is not recognizing anything plugged into the EIDE port. I know the hard drives are working since I can get them to work in the regular IDE port.
I have noticed in the bios that I have primary master and slave, third master and slave, and fourth master and slave. But no secondary master and slave. I cannot find a way to enable this. Is the motherboard broken or is there a setting I am missing. I would prefer not to have to take everything apart and send it back.
