Hey guys, having a hard drive issue. In a previous rig, I had 2 Hard drives, a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 320GB Drive, and a 1.5TB drive. I switched graphics card, and then a new PSU to support it. With this new PSU, the second hard drive wouldn't work. I would turn on the computer, and it would post, both drives would show up in BIOS no problem. I bought a thermaltake blackx base to sit the 1.5TB drive in, plugged it in the eSATA port, and everything worked just dandy. However, that base failed a few days ago. I bought a new PSU, Thermaltake 750w, but the same problem. I tried putting both hard drives on a single cable, seperate cables, molex to SATA power converter, but no matter how i configure it, even w/ slave/Master sata plugs, I cannot get the computer to boot with both drives plugged in. I ran the Seagate diagnostic on both drives, [had to do it seperately, with one unplugged, followed by the second.] Both passed with flying colors. [Long Test]. When both drives were plugged in, it detected both, but could not run tests on the DATA drive, saying it was not responding to commands. Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

If you are using a IDE to SATA converter, I would say the converters don't work with the SATA chip on the motherboard.
