Yes, but just bear in mind that the whole Promise PDC20378 chip runs on one mode or the other. In your case you have set the whole chip into RAID mode. So when you run the PRI_IDE port in IDE mode, the PRI_SATA and SEC_SATA ports will be in IDE mode also. You can't mix IDE and RAID modes on the same controller chip, and AFAIK all the popular chips work that way.

My BIOS is set up as follows:
OnBoard Promise Controller [Enabled]
Operating Mode [Inboard IDE Operate Mode]
I think I may have misled you when I said that I had enabled the RAID controller. I actually meant that I had enabled the Promise controller.
However, I downloaded and installed the Promise SATA 378 driver you suggested in place of the WinXP Promise FastTrak 378 Controller and instantly the additional drive appeared. No problems with boot sequence either as it has been assigned to drive letter I:
Thanks for your help. You have truly earned your status as guru...
