it spools and when connected to the raid controler (the first port i plugged into) i can look at the drive and play with raid info if i ctrl-F pre boot which is the only place the drive is visible, but since i switched to the (supposedly) correct port that's gone, from the crap i've read about it's probably going to be a bios/driver problem, common?! problem with this board maybe it wants me to buy 3 more drives and build a array, i need that like i need a sore cock
