Bios hell

I recently moved my motherboard and hardrives into a new case with a new
power supply, dvdrom, cdrw, floppy.

I anticipated no problems, however there has been 1 nagging problem.
Whenever I perform a soft reset in windows the bios fails to detect my
primary master hardrive. This is not a problem however when I perform a hard
power down and restart using the case power switch or windows shutdown
command.

Ive reflashed my bios, switched cables, and set jumpers on hardrive from
forced master / slave to cable select, all to no resolution.

My motherboard is a Soyo SY-TISU and bios is tisu2aa2.bin

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Probably not your situation, but a tangential comment. As a part of
tweaking my boot process, there was a time in the past when I removed
all automatic detection routines from my BIOS. No CD-ROM detection,
hard drives all manually defined, etc. Windows operating systems are
perfectly happy without that happening in BIOS. My situation was when I
made an XP boot disk on CD, it took me three days of trying to figure
out why it wouldn't function until my "D'OH" moment of going through my
BIOS line by line and remembering what I had done months before.

It's not something as simple as that, is it? Conversely, if you DO
currently have everything on the default automatic, had you tried doing
a manual configuration to define the hard drive yourself? I'd
personally stick with my own master/slave definitions and not try the
Cable Select route. What size hard drives are you talking about here?
