My current problem with this board is this.
I have 2 80 GB IDE Seagate drives in RaiD 0
I have a SATA 120GB Drive on it's own connected to the VIA chipset because you can't have a NON-raid drive connected to the Promise SATA controller if the IDE controller is set to raid (this is sooooo dumb)

I just got 2 200GB SATA seagate drives, and promptly connected them to the promise controller intending to raid them. I setup the raid array, and windows detects them correctly. However, it fails to format them (taking the full time to figure out it didn't work) and I keep getting event viewer entries that say

Event ID 9

The device, \Device\Scsi\fasttx2k1, did not respond within the timeout period.

I have tried updating the bios on my motherboard, they had a "beta" bios on Asus's website for a while, but I got CRC checksum errors when checking the bios so I had to downgrade to the latest released version.

Any ideas on how to fix these issues? I'm really REALLY sick of the Asus mother boards I've had, and am thinking about just saying screw it and getting a new one.

Current system is as follows:

AMD 64 3500
1gb TwinX Corsair 3200 Ram
2X80GB, 120GB, 2X200GB HDD
Geforce 6800GT
Sound ******* audigy 2
