Can not get eSATA port to work
Hey guys,
I just recently purchased a Seagate 750GB FreeAgent Pro external hard drive with eSATA connector. But I can not get my P5B Deluxe's ESATA port to work with this hard drive. I bought the ESATA to eSATA cable from Monoprice.com here:

I installed the latest JMicron Raid driver, and set my JMicron to RAID in BIOS. My IDE DVD-RW drive is detected by the JMicron Raid driver, but my ESATA isn't :(.
I tried AHCI or ACHI in BIOS, Windows won't boot, system restarts as soon as I see the loading screen for Windows.
For those of you who uses the P5B Deluxe motherboard with an eSATA external HD, what are the BIOS settings for IDE configuration and Onboard devices?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
btw, not sure if it matters, but the cable doesn't make a tight fit into the motherboard nor the drive, but it is snug enough so it doesn't pop out itself.
Memory in all 4 Dimm sockets ?
Are there any known problems with populating all 4 dimms sockets ?
i know it doesnt show above 3gb properly
i have 2 x 1gb geil 800 mhz dimms and wanna put 2 x 512mb of the same type of ram in for a total of 3gb
