The model is P4P800 and P4P800-VM and all the drives are brand new Seagate IDE drives. I have removed the CD-ROM drive and the box boots up fine with Primary and Secondary master but as soon as I add a 3rd drive the boot process hangs on ata0 (or ata1) "Resetting devices....". Changing the drive to Cable-Select or putting the slave at the end of the cable doesn't fix the problem either. I'm going to call Asus tech support tomorrow but any thoughts suggestions are appreciated.
