This all started when I was playing Enemy Territory Quake Wars Demo... lol... and was having troubles... long story short... I found out my slave drive D:/ (120GB Seagate ATA not connected by ribbon cable but through SATA cable and connects through a labeled SATA-2 Port on Motherboard) was only reading at 1886KB/s as opposed to what should be about 50mb/s. SO, connected yet another slave drive E:/ (which used the IDE cable) and copied all my files from the D:/ to the E:/ to see if I could just swap the drives and use the E:/ from now on if it was faster because it used an IDE cable. Did a quick hd speed test and now the slave drive D:/ was running at 50mb/s! And it was using exact same cables, only difference was that another slave drive E:/ was connected to the middle pin on IDE cable. To make things more confusing... the slave drive E:/ I just connected to the IDE cable on the middle pin is running at 1886KB/s just like D:/ was. So, disconnected E:/ again and hooked the IDE cable back into DVD where it previously was. Now my setup is as follows and none other hard drives will detect except C:/... IDE cable comes out of motherboard... connects to DVD drive in the middle, then comes down to drive C:/ and connects. DVD is set as slave. The jumper on C:/ is set on the first set of pins (Master). My D:/ drive is connected by a multi-colored set of chords (power chord I'm assuming)... and a blue chord which connects into a port on the motherboard labeled SATA-2. The D:/ drive jumper is gone and set as a slave. BIOS doesn't detect any other drive on the system except C:/ yet the DVD drive opens when you push the button and D:/ drive spins up when computer turns on. Also I don't know how to config my BIOS to auto-detect Hard Drives... my system specs are in my signature...
