reset bios to defaults, flashed bios, tested all 3 hdds in a different machine, tested the 2 cables i have in a different machine, tested the ram, tested the processor, tested all the pci cards, tested the vid card....everything in that box works teh way it should except the board....all pins are accounted for and perfectly straight

i have 4 hdds in this machine...a 20, 14, 10, and a 6 gig hdd...yes there older but for now its all i have
the 10 and 6 are on sata...work fine and whatnot....all the drives work if i plug them into sata...but i need my ide ...and who wants a half working board
