I am setting up my first new build with a Gigabyte P35-DS3R motherboard. I currently have 2 SATA optical drives, 1 SATA HDD, and two IDE HDD. I am new to the SATA concept and would like help in configuring the BIOS correctly.

System Specs:
Gigabyte P35-DS3R
Intel Core2Quad Q6600
Foxconn 8800GTS 640MB
2GB(2x1GB) Crucial Ballistix
Seagate 7200.10 SATA HD 320GB
Seagate 7200.9 IDE HD 250GB
Seagate 7200.9 IDE HD 160GB
Samsung SATA DVD burner
ASUS SATA DVD ROM

Is it possible to connect all of this stuff? All of the SATA devices (optical drives, HDD, eSATA connectors) are connected to the orange Intel Sata slots. Does it matter which spot they are plugged into?

The SATA drives are showing up, however the IDEs aren't showing yet.
I have
SATA RAID/AHCI Mode - Disabled
SATA Port0-3 Native Mode - Enabled
Onboard SATA/IDE Device - Enabled
Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode - IDE

Nevermind...I'm retarted...
I did too much cable management the other day waiting for my OS to arrive and forgot to plug things back in.....
