Hard Drive problem!!!!!!
I took out my extra WD drive and put it back in right like it was before. And off the boot when it detects the drives where the drive would be its all jiberish. When I go to auto detect it goes all weird and says its a 31gig when in fact its a 80gb. I can boot into windows it is not there.

When you say it is not there, is it showing up in the disk management console at all or just not showing up in explorer?
What does your IDE config look like?

When I saw there is nothing there I mean nothing in hardware manager or my computer. My IDE config explain what you mean? I did not change the jumper, and the cable is in fine.

How do you have your HD & optical devices set up on your IDE channels? Any RAID ports involved?

No raid each drive has it's own ide channel. All five drives. With my main WD and my samsung optical on the onboard and my other WD and Samsung on my controller card. I have tried other channels too.
