I purchased an ASUS M3N78 Pro Motherboard, and the motherboard will only detect my External Mybook Western Digital 1TB drive and my Internal Western Digital Raptor 80gb drive but it wont detect my Maxtor 300gb and Seagate 750gb drives running at 750gb, i tried changing plugs I tried only powering one at a time, its not showing up on device manager or bios, I just updated the bios to the latest version and I still get nothing, I tried everything!, my games are on the other 2 drives and I cant access them. Please help me, I Cant see my drives at all!!! I only see 1 internal and 1 external but not the rest of the 2 internal ones.
If you got a picture of my motherboard you will see 2 black ones on the top 2 red in the middle and 2 red on the bottom, I haven't tried the 2 on the bottom because my gfx is blocking it, I can try plugging it in those 2 if you want by using the L shaped sata cable but the only ones I used are the 2 black sata ports on tip and 1 middle red sata port
The color coding for the sata ports ment something, I re-read the manual, and the sata 5 and 6 black ports were for something called ADHCI (i think its spelled like that) and raid, So basically I unplugged it from the black port and left the hardrive connected on Sata 1 2 and 4, since 3 is blocked off from the gfx. I got all my hardrives working, with every single driver installed, with a perfect windows vista 64bit installation. I will post any crashing problems, if I experience any.
