I recently got an ASRock K8S8X and two Highpoint RocketHead 100 ATA-SATA adaptors from Scan. I'm using them on two identical Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 40GB HDs... well, trying to use them at least. About 98% of the time they aren't detected during the SATA startup scan, and on the (very) odd occasion that they are they disappear after a reboot or two. It's identical on both SATA channels, both RocketHeads, both drives and three SATA cables, so I'm suspecting incompatibility between the board and the adapters.
I've tried master, slave and CS jumper settings, different power cables, even upgraded the mobo BIOS from 1.50 to 1.60, but never makes any difference.
All suggestions welcome...
