SATA drive not detected after installing 2 IDE drives

ahmada · 2006-07-04

I have the AA8-3RDEYE mobo and I was trying to install 3 HDs (2 IDE & 1 SATA) as many of you may or may not know this mobo only has one IDE adapter in it. If I connect just the IDE drives it boots just fine but if I connect the SATA the bios wont even detect it. I tried everything from changing the jumpers to changing bios settings and nothing worked. What am I doing wrong? Is there a solution to this problem. I even have an internal CD-rom drive and I would like to connect that. SORRY I posted in the wrong section (My mobo is ABIT)
