Hi all - I've googled this issue but to no avail.
I'm having a problem at bios, i have 4 sata devices attached, no IDE
devices installed.

Sata devices:

1 x 2 yr old Samsung 500gb (SATA port 0) OSX86 installed on this
drive
1 x new 1tb WD drive (SATA port 1)
1 x 2yr 40gb Seagate (SATA port 2) windows xp installed on this drive
1 x DVD RW (SATA port 3)

I've tried auto / non combined / enhanced bios config. I can't reliably get all
sata devices to load. sometimes i get the samsung (port 0) to load
sometimes no devices at all. Invariably some drop off. I have retested
the drives with my intel 915gag motherboard and all are operating fine.
I have done a memtest boot disk, the mem installed is ok. If I hit F12
during post it stalls for a while and manages to load no drives. I've
contacted the store and gigabyte but they have no idea.
My usual situation is os loads, 1tb WD loads - dvd drive doesnt load, can't see 40gb (doesnt matter - still dual boots from bios)



I have Leo4All (os 10.5.2) installed on the 500gb samsung.

other hardware:

4GB Transend DDR2 ram,
G31M-ES2L motherboard
Penitum 2.8
Nvidia 7300gs Leadtek 256mb

Many thanks!
