I just built my first "new build" computer.  I have a Gigabyte GA-81915P Duo 
Pro Rev. 1.3 LGA 775 Socket T motherboard with SATA, RAID, 3 IDE connectors, 
and Award BIOS.  
I am running one CDRW and one Zip drive on one IDE cable, and one IDE hard 
drive on a second IDE cable. I am not running RAID or any SATA peripherals at 
this time. My problem is that both the CDRW/Zip drives and the IDE Hard Drive 
work on IDE1, but neither work on IDE2 or IDE3. The manual says the CDRW/Zip 
has to be on IDE1 to work properly. 

In the BIOS under Integrated Peripherals I have SATA Raid/AHCI Mode disabled 
and On-Chip SATA Mode set to Auto. This page shows On Chip Primary PCI IDE 
enabled at the top. I thought maybe the SATA mode had something to do with it, 
so I tried it on every setting, but it's still not recognizing my hard drive on 
IDE2. How do I get IDE2 and IDE3 to work? Do I need to change a BIOS setting? 

Thanks.
