Well I just built this comp and it happens that now it only reads the cd rom or hard drive if its connected to IDE 1. The Mobo comes wit another 2 IDE's but it wont read the hard drive or the cd rom. My mobo is a Foxconn 925XE. I dont kno wat to do so if anybody has any suggestions please help. Also IDE 1 is ATA 100/66/33 and IDE 2/3 are ATA 133/100/66. Does this mean anything in readin the hard drive n cd rom?
Mobo will only read the main IDE

It's clearing the cmos.
Should be covered in the book that came with your MoBo.
It's a jumper, usually very close to the battery on the MoBo.
It will be 3 pins in a row and the jumper will be on 2 of them,
you'll shift the possition from pin 1 & 2 to pin 2 & 3 for a few moments,
then put it back to pin 1&2. this clears the bios memory.

How do you have the cdrom hdd setup?
Master/slave ide1 or master on both ide's?
Do you have both cdrom and hdd set correctly master/slave
on the drives themselves?
Sometimes it helps to have hdd on the end of the data cable
set as master or cable select, cable select is for a drive all by itself.

Considering I have 3 ide ports I'm trying to have them both as masters on 2 different IDE. If i put the HDD as the master n the cdrom as a slave in just one port (IDE1) it picks it up. But now that I try to make the other one the master of IDE 2 it only picks up the master of IDE 1 and thats it. But it detects the cd rom in the ide scan but thats it.

3 x IDE (Parallel ATA 133) to connect hard disks and optical drives
8 x SATA connectors supporting RAID 1, 0, 0+1, JBOD
Is this correct for your board?
You may have a setting in the bios that disables the two extra ide ports
in view of the 8 Sata's.
I haven't found it yet but my board has it too.
It seems to me I had to set it to auto or both
but shutdown the raid support.
BTW nice board!
Don't give up yet..... :knock:
