Thanks, but I have the drivers for the card and I can see four of the six IDE drives I have installed but I cannot see the others. I know its something in windows because I can switch the connections and I can see the other drives that were hidden.

I had a similar problem in xp also.. What I did is opened up Partition Magic to check the drives status and sure enough they were hidden so I told Partition magic to unhide the drives then I rebooted and voila all my drives were there.. Why XP hid them in the first place I couldnt tell ya but that is what worked for me wish ya luck
