motherboard not seeing sata drives
by sirius57 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4R9H7)
I installed a used asus a8b-e se board. I set it to default settings. It works well with my ide drives, but does not see the sata drives. I tested only one sata drive at a time, making sure the cables and connections were good. Since it is used and I have no idea how the board was originally configured, would flashing the bios fix the problem?
