I wouldn't make any changes to the drive unless you've exhausted all other possibilities...

Hence the reason for me putting if you get nowhere

The SATA cables are plugged in to the yellow slots, but I need to change them around when I get home, as they are not in 0, 1 and 2.
I'm hopeful that the BIOS isnt configured correctly which is why the drives wont show properly...bloody hope thats the case anyway.
Just looking in my mobo manual....these are the BIOS settings
"SATA RAID / AHCI Mode"
I can choose either 'Disabled' / 'AHCI' / or 'RAID'
"SATA AHCI Mode"
I can choose either 'Disabled' / 'AHCI'
"SATA Port0-3 Native Mode"
I can choose either 'Disabled' or 'Enabled'
"SATA Port0-1 Native Mode"
I can choose either 'Disabled' or 'Enabled'
"Onboard SATA/IDE Device"
I can either Enable or Disable this - description says "Enables or disabled the IDE and SATA Controllers integrated in the GIGABYTE SATA 2 chip - Default Enabled
"Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode" (GIGABYTE SATA2 Chip)
I can chooe either 'IDE' / 'AHCI' or 'RAID/IDE'
Any advice on what I should set, am I right in saying that any SATA non-RAID stuff should be set to "IDE" and not AHCI?
Thanks guys.

AHCI basically is the advanced features of Sata such as hot swap and command queing. It does not set the drive to either raid or none raid. I would set IDE/AHCI. Is there nowhere with a JBOD setting this is basically Just a Bunch Of Drives
Just set everything you can to none raid
