SATA Drives Optical and HD

[Guest rwe111nospam@cox.net]

My motherboard has four (4) sata ports/connectors and one (1) ide

conector. I can populate 3 of the 4 sata port with 2 HD's and 1

optical drive and the motherboard bios sees all three. I can also use

the ide connector for another optical drive and it is recognized if I

enable the jmicron driver in the bios. I have all of this installed on

my computer.

 

Running XP Pro already installed. When I log on to XP and go to "My

Computer" the main HD show up and depending on how I have the sata

ports configured the 2nd HD will show but the sata optical will not or

the optical will show and the and the 2nd HD will not. If I enable

the jmicron driver the ide optical will show. Sata ports in use are

1-3 and 4 is not in use.

 

How can I get XP to recognize all three and possibly all 4 sata ports,

right now it's recognizing only 2 ports. Any suggestions

recommendations would be appreciated.
