OK...I spent pretty much all night last night and most of this morning trying to figure out why my damned computer won't recognize my SATA drives. I give up. I called Asus, they said that I needed to load the drivers for them via floppy disc. Shit. I haven't built a floppy into a computer in like three years. So...I dig my old floppy drive out, run to a store quick to buy floppy discs (when was the last time anyone did THAT?), and get to work. My floppy drive wasn't recognized by the system either. So...off to Best Buy I go...and then to Walmart...and then to Staples...after being incredulously stunned at the $30 price of a floppy drive at three places, I bought one and brought it home. IT wasn't recognized by the motherboard. OH well!
So...the floppy drive went back in the box and it's going back to Staples tomorrow, the hard drives are going to eBay because I'll lose too much on them with NewEgg's 15% restocking fee, and I'm going to pick up some nice regular-ATA drives at CompUsa.
