Hey all,

I have recently bought 2x SATA Seagate 320 GB hard disks. I am using a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 motherboard.

I already have two HDs plugged into the two purple slots (Seagate, 160/200GB).

I installed the 2 new hard drives into the orange sata ports and connected them up with power etc.

I turned on the computer and checked the BIOS, and they are not there.

I have switched the SATA cables around and can say that when a HD is plugged into the purple SATA socket, I can see that HD, anything that is plugged into the orange I cannot see in the bios or windows. I have tried all the Orange plugs and updated the bios to the latest version (F8)

Any advice? This is extreamly annoying seeing I just spent £160 on these disks.

I can confirm both of the new HDs work fine, and are formated to NTFS.

Thanks for any help
