i have a P5N-E SLI motherboard that i have used without problems for 2 years with IDE. i recently started using SATA hard drives. i still have a 250GB hard drive and a DVD drive connected to IDE.
i noticed that when i have a drive connected to SATA ports 1 or 3 the PC would not post. it wouldn't even show the BIOS splash screen. if i transfer the drives to ports 2 or 4, everything seems fine. what could be the problem on this?
