Here is the problem: I can only get the BIOS to detect IDE devices on the secondary connector. This connector detects everything, my CDROM, and all 3 HDDs.
The Primary IDE connector (blue plastic housing) doesn't detect anything!!! HELP!
Everything works fine if it is connected to the secondary; boot disk, CD-ROM; but I have more IDE devices I want to connect.
The manual says that stuff using ATA66 or less should be connected to the secondary, but the HDDs I'm using are ATA66 or higher. This should be supported by the Primary IDE conn, which goes to the South Bridge, which claims to support ATA100/66.
I am using a Western Digital 13400 (ATA66) and a WD400; I put them on the master end of the 80-pin IDE cable w/ proper jumper settings for single drive and get nothing. I put them together w/ the end one master and the 2nd-to-last one slave and get no detection.
It seems like the primary IDE connector is broken!!!
