- 2 x UltraDMA 133 support four hard drives
Now that I think of your on-board RAID, did you run the motherboard's driver installation disk ? Then did you update those drivers at the Asus support site ? Maybe there is some conflict there.

I installed ITE drivers from asus support site prior to open this post, my guess is that they support 4 HDD in 2+2 Raid mode since I tried to put a single HDD there and it wasn't recognizied.

On a new system ? Or a new Install ? I get very suspicious when multiple problems happen simultaneously and I start looking for a single, common cause. The PS sounds good. Is this a new (hardware) system ?

No the system is not new, I had to change 2 parts due to faulty hardware but I don't think I increased power drain, changes were as follow:
my 7800 GT was broken and I changed it with a 7900 GT.
my HDD 250 gb Maxtor SATA was broken and I replaced it with a Maxtor 40 GB.
Also my PS is an enermax so I don't think it's his fault.
Still have to follow your instruction on selective start and report.
As for this, I am unsure if I can convince the system to use RAID ports to IDE ports (never seen such an option), and regarding the MS link that you posted it's not really my case since it's not that the system don't see my DVD-RW, it sees it but it don't read anything that I put inside.
Side Note: The cable is 40 PIN I think.
