    The PSU question was directed at organicpuzzle.

    Although...

    in response to your post, xmas, reading your post again reminded me of the interesting way my MB, Asus P5LD-2, manages HDDs and HDD channels. It doesn't list my SATA devices as SATA, instead when its posting, it lists all SATA channels/devices as IDE channels in addition to listing all typical IDE channels. I also don't recall needing SATA drivers for XP during install, which was nice ^_^ It may be that your MB simply disables your sec IDE channel when SATA is being used.

    I use a 530w Hiper PSU. It's been working great since I got it a few months ago. I guess I forgot to post the specs of the build, that might help.

    AMD X2 6000+
    M2N-SLI Deluxe
    Patriot RAM 2x(1GB) 4-4-4-12
    EVGA 8800GTS

    After two days of pulling my hair out I have found that when a SATA HDD is connected, then only one IDE HDD can be connected on the primary channel and only one IDE HDD can be connected on the secondary channel. I can also connect an IDE DVD to either the primary or secondary channel (but haven't tried with two IDE DVD's - one on each channel). During all the above I also had a SATA DVD connected.

    The motherboard is (perhaps soon to be "was") an ASUS K8V-VM.

    I recently had the same problem with my desktop... it was only reading one cd drive and stuck there for a few minutes reading IDE which I have none of.

    It'd also hang at the windows loading screen... were you experiencing that too?

    I haven't read the entire thread yet so hopefully you got an answer by now. :oD
