Slaves 160gig / 250gig western digital IDE

ive tried everything i can think of im new to the whole sata with ide thing so im clueless

Check your connections & reboot. If that doesn't work then get in2 the Bios & enter heads,sectors & clynders for your hard drives. If they're not printed on the hard drives then u can get da H,S, & C from from your hard drive manufactor website. Make sure u search for the correct model of each HD. Let me know if that works.Before that above suggestion make sure that your hard drives are correctly jumpered. That should help detect your HDs.

how would i correctly jumper them ? ive done it before with IDE but not with SATa Primary and 2 ide slaves ?

There is no Master/Slave system for Sata,The jumpering system only applies to IDE HDs,Sorry I should've been more specific. Make sure that the connections for the Sata HDs are connected correctly. The CMOS supposed 2 pick'em up. Look at the CMOS 2 see if they're disabled or something.
