I answered this question yesterday for someone else. The order in Device
Manager is reversed because of their PCI bus locations. On my A8N-SLI
Premium the PATA IDE controller is PCI device 6, the SATA IDE controller for
3&4 is device 7, and the SATA IDE controller for 1&2 is device 8, and that's
the order they show up in in Device Manager.

I just checked in Google, and by changing the name of the
Subject, that caused my newsreader to disconnect your post
from your original posting. I see "DRS" has already answered
your question.

Have you considered your concern from the perspective of a
potential answerer ? Why do people answer questions ? What
would motivate them ? After all, it takes time to answer a
question, so there is some "cost".

Is the question interesting ? Is the question unique ? If
the question isn't interesting, maybe one answerer will leave
it to another to handle, and the question gets lost.

I seem to remember that the first questions I asked on here,
didn't get an answer. Which didn't particularly bother
me one way or another. It took me three weeks of work on
my own to figure out my problem.

Some questions automatically elicit more of a response than
others. An innocent noob with a broken motherboard, would
likely get a response. If you changed your pseudonym to
"Cynthia", I bet you'd get more answers. Don't take the
responses you get too personally, as the alt hierarchy
is a "rough neighbourhood". And like fishing, there is
no guarantee that you go home with fish at the end of
the day

Come on, john. Surely you don't think that we are to blame.

You need to work on improving your writing skills. The subject line
should be inviting such that even those that don't know the answer
will respond to your clever subject.

Work on it.

Paul, thanks for your reply and point(s) well taken and understood.
JimL, thanks and point well taken.
I have to work on my patience.

Probably the main reason may be that no one knows the answer to your
questions. I noticed some strange things about the numbering scheme of
physical drives on my A8N-E, but I got everything working so I just quit
worrying about it.

99% of the time any question you have has been asked and answered already.
There are only so many time people are willing to answer the same question,
hence FAQs and the famous phrase, "Google is your friend". (You can Google
search news groups as well as web sites).

I only post to a NG when all else fails.

I was just thinking how wonderful life was, when "john"
<vze4j6mv.TakeThisOut@verizon.net> opened his gob and said:
