Solved finally.


Somehow after countless resets I was able to get it to work if the LG SATA was NOT in the EZ_RAID 1, and the Seagate was.

I could swear I attempt a setup similiar to this near the beginning, and it resulted in being unable to detect the Seagate when it was in EZ_RAID 1

but here I am with 4 SATA devices under ICH7R control, which was my goal.


So I'm not sure how you claimed to get their SATA optical working off the EZ_RAID 1.... either you're mistaken (maybe?), or something was/is up with my board, OR something to do with LG SATA opticals maybe not being able to do it, but maybe other brand SATAs can work off that port. NOT MINE!!!


anyways thanx for the help, pretty much the only help i really got across numerous forums
