Default Vista only detects 1 HDD

Ive used this setup for years on XP and had no troubles, but installed vista
recently and cannot get vista to detect my second SATA hdd, i have and 80gb
IDE which i run windows off, and 2 sata 300gig hdd's i use for storage

previously both worked fine, but now only one will show up. eventually i
found that if i go into the raid setup one says it is "reserved". if i turn
that hdd into a JBOD it will then work in windows, but the other hdd will
become reserved and not show up in windows

any help would be appreciated

Hi,

Check with the motherboard manufacturer for chipset driver updates, as this
is the likely problem. It may also require a BIOS update.
