I connected two samsung f3 spinpoint drives to the sata3_0 and sata3_1 ports of the 890GPA-UD3H board. Booted it up, two drives were not recognized. So thought the hard drives were dead. Anyway long story short, I found out the drives weren't dead. So I decided to connect the drives to GSATA2_6 and GSATA2_7 and now they're working.
Am I missing something here? shouldn't those drives work when connected to sata3 ports?
And also for some reason my AMD 1055T is not being recognized in Windows 7. Do I need to update the bios?
Oh and also, I couldn't get my sata dvd drive to work when installing Windows 7. So I had to pop out my old IDE DVD drive to install Windows 7. Sigh I feel like a noob.
Please help.
Thank you.
