Hi Bill,
Thanks again for your response. I took away the "active" designation for my two storage drives, thanks to your instructions. As far as ACHI goes I believe I have it set up properly. Did the reg change and set the bios. I don't know if it's unique to this mobo but there are 5 SATA slots and the bios stipulates that if you set ACHI on the #1 port then ports 2 & 3 are also set to ACHI automatically. That leaves ports 4 & 5 open for non-ACHI and is where I have these drives connected.
Please note--the drives have worked perfectly now for the last 3 days or so.
I've attached the disk management pic.
Thanks again for your help........Tom
