My m/b A7N8X-E-Delux is equipped with 2 SATA & 3 PATA HDD (each 120 GB without any partition and non in RAID configuration), Athlon XP 2800+ processor, 1.5 GB RAM, 256 mb graphics, 400W power supply & Win XP. Since I am associated with video editing, tried to increase storage capacity by instlling another 4 PATA HDD (one by one) using external USB 2.0 HDD cassing for plug & play. Accordingly, OS recognised the harddisks and drive letter was assigned . After re-starting machine become unstable. Simptom - OS sometimes failed to recognise these additional HDDs. I tried all possible methods best known to me but could not resolve the problem. Is this a OS problem /limitation? How can I use maximum number of HDD at a time. What is the maximum number of HDD windows can accept ?
