Okay okay, new update on this post... I now have the drives all working after some re-connecting of the wires even though I didn't change anything on where they connected or anything... just unplugged and re-plugged in about three times and after so many times for some stupid reason now it's working... (geeze...computers sometimes...
)... Well, anyway, now all drives working however... I have two Primary IDE Channels and the second one is currently running in PIO Mode (Set to UDMA If Available but PIO mode nevertheless) and I need to get it back to UDMA... I tried uninstalling the primary IDE channel and restarting windows and re-installing... did no good still currently PIO... any tips?
