...multible painful attempls over a range of two days have lefted me with nothing but a reformatt. Before the reformatt, i had 5 drivies. I tryed installing the 6th one, and rebooting it. the windows logo came up (over a 5 min boot >.<) and then went black. i tryed multiple steps to fixing it and fault terribly. So, this lefted me with the only option i could do. a Reformat.

I did the reformat and stepped me up one more inch to nothing. I got the destop now and i can even see the new drives now, but. but! one of the old harddrives is missing one.

4 sata
2 ata

All of the satas can be seen. but only one atas can be seen.

What should i do? i can't get all 6 harddrives.

(what i've tryed:
- switching ide cables
- switching jumper on the harddrives
- changing BIOs
- Updating BIOs
- updating RAID manager
- managing all cables (in the case)

once again, im stucked. any help would be nice. :)
Thanks

850 is way overboard unless yuo ahve a really packed system. List the specs as a merely 550 would do fine.

if anyone is interested in this subject, i have an answer. I found out that my motherboard (only a year old. asus p5gd1) supports only 5 hard drives, though i don't know about ide or sata pci controllers. if they can add more hard drives or not after the 5 limits.

i hear maybe 3 months ago that nvidia can support 6 hard drives, but by now they probably have motherboards out there that can support more hard drive (i would think at least)
