Posted October 18, 200816 yr 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.
