Hi again
How many SATA drives have you got? We're just going to start ruling things out but it might be a Jumper Setting Issue what is the Jumper Set to? (Note: it's a small plastic box like thing over 2 pins on the back of the HDD.

I have two sata drives, two ide drives as stated at the top.

Jumper are set to primary and slave on two dvdrw drives.
I dont think there is any jumpers on my SATA drives.

I dont think this is the problem because everything was running fine for over 6 months without a hitch

What is your Operating System? the drives show up OK at boot screen + in "my computer"/ Device Mgr?

Have you tried changing the SATA cables that came with the drives-- to another one? I find it hard to picture that the Mobo itself is bad when they are detected sometimes --but not another--
When i was first hooking up SATA drives with XP-- I had problems getting them recognized by Windows XP-- of course that was a few years back, too.
SATA is cramming so much data through those small cables...
SATA is not supposed to use jumpers-- there is no master/slave drive... but it cannot hurt to try it...

I have tried this and i have also brought an asaka sata cable to see if that will make any difference but it makes none. Always does the same thing even when i have only the sata hard drive connected on its own aswell. You name it ive probably done it, im thinking it has to be the board

Yep... I would have to agree... if you try everything you and several others can think of-- and it still does not work... it's usually hardware. Could even just be a bad BIOS chip-- they do happen.
Post back --let us know how you make out-- perhaps when you contact the maker-- their tech support will help you through it.
If so... someone else might benefit.
Besides, I am personally quite curious I want to know why-- as I said --it would be detected some times & not others. Makes no sense to me.
