This is the best way I can explain it, I have a IC7 Max3, with 3 drives, 1 raptor(sata), 1 WD400JB(pata/ide), 1 CDRW(pata/ide). I have the raptor on sata1 which is the intel controller. I want to run the 400jb on IDE1 master, and the cdrw on IDE2 master. This is how i had it set up on 3 different nforce2 boards, without problems. I cant do it on this board, the only way I can get windows to boot is if the raptor is set to IDE1 master/salve or IDE2 master/slave. IDE3 master and IDE4 master will not work, even if I disconnect the other 2 drives completely.. I havent updated the bios yet Im using the stock one, but I dont think a bios update will help. For more info please see this
