Hi,
i just built a new system on the asus m3n78 pro motherboard. I have 3 sata drives (2 hdd's and a DVD/ RW)
and the motherboard has six sata ports (4 red 2 black) but due to a motherboard design flaw 2 of the red sata's are covered by my long ati 4870 graphics card. My problem is that only the red sata ports work and i have my 2 hdd's plugged into them which i am going to be running in RAID but i can't plug my DVD drive into the black ones because it doesn't recognise it. In the bios it has SATA's 1-4 listed but not 5 and six which are the black ones. I can't find any way to enable the or anything. What can i do? is there a way to enable them? I need all three sata drives plugged in before i can install windows :-(
thanks
