OK, so i broke up my RAID and wanted to use a SATA 10K raptor in each of my 2 rigs. So i set it up in one of them, and it works fine, i have the Raptor partitioned the way i like it, and a IDE hard drive there for storage, everything is fine in the world. Now on this other computer, i for the life of me can not get it to work the same. It's a Abit IC7-Max 3 motherboard using the same 2 drives as the other one, but i can't get them to work together. I set it to enhanced mode, i have the jumpers and all that in the right places (and tried without any), i set to boot to the Raptor first, it does see them in the BIOS, but it just will not boot into windows. What it will do is POST, then act like it wants to boot correctly, but then just black screen freezes after the POST till i reboot it. What am i missing here (this is my first Abit board)? My Asus board had no problems with this what-so-ever. Thanks for your help.
 
Odd, I'm running that same board w/ 1 SATA and 2 PATA's w/ no problem. Have you tried it w/ just the SATA drive or just the PATA's? If not try them seperately to find out if it will at least get to the point of trying to boot off a drive and fail w/ an error msg vs. locking up. If either fails at this point you know where the prob is for further troubleshooting. Could possibly be a power issue, what size power supply are you running?
