TYREE, CD-ROM 0 dvd (E:) sata port #3 CD-ROM 1 dvd (F:) sata port #2 whe i look click on my computer it list the drives in order (A:)(,C:)(,D:)(,E:)(F:)(G:) ect. (E:) should be top drive (F:) bottom drive if you follow the order they ar listed in. this only works with (E:) pluged in sata port #3 if it is pluged sata port #2 it shows up as (F:) when i boot up the BIOS loads sata 1 sata 3 sata 2 in this order. i have sata ports 4,5 left to try. i have ordered sata cables with 90 angle so i can try them. i may have BIOS or MB problem. i will post when i learn somthing THANKS D.
