I am not sure there is a solution to this,maybe someone else will come up with an idea.
What happens if you disconnect ALL the IDE HDDs and just use SATA?

Re: Adding hard drive locks system up- help!
Your most likely solution is a dif/new motherboard. You can't get around hardware limitations/conflicts without swapping the hardware. See my post above.

Add IDEs to wifes PCs if compatable.
You have 4 SATA in your computer and share drives over a network?

Re: Adding hard drive locks system up- help!
Its a motherboard limitation, it can only support so many drives. The only solution is to buy a new motherboard or build a server

Re: Adding hard drive locks system up- help!
Alright.. I'm not sure if you're purposefully ignoring AW and myself, but I'll say it one more time just in case you accidentally missed our posts.
It's a hardware limitations. You can either compromise with how many HDs you use, or you get a new motherboard. (Or spread the HDs across multiple comps, or go with a designated server comp)
