Please list your motherboard model number, and your brand and type of hardrive. I had to use "native ide" for one of my boards that didn't recognize the sandforce controller in achi mode, but it still ran fast.

What do you mean by "Loses harddrives"? Do you mean your secondary/not-primary drive doesn't show up in Windows Explorer, or that your main boot-drive just doesn't work?

For the former, it could be that your motherboard's particular socket which that drive is connected to, has died (or the cable). Try seeing if you can place it in another socket or a different HDD cable.

...Actually, are you placing the other drives in master/slave sockets without having changed their jumper/thingmie that controls that? Might be worth checking.

Gi'es a try and then post your result.

Thats because they are Sata. Expect to have to do that again in a week or two.
