Gigabyte K8NS-939 SATA issue

I'm having issues with a Gigabyte board.

I have the K8NS-939 with a 3000 Winnie, 2x200GB WD 7200 drive trying to run them with a RAID 1 on the NF3 SATA ports. The board will not recognize the drives if they are both plugged in. It'll recognize if I unplug one, but not both at the same time.

So I plugged one in, installed Windows XP Pro SP2 without any problems. Then I plugged in the 2nd drive and enabled RAID in the BIOS, but it just isn't picking up the drive. I switched the ports with the Windows drive and it picked it up so I know both ports work. I changed and pluged the empty drive and it picked it up so I know both drives are good.

Any ideas?

Have you checked in administrative tools/disk manager to see if it appears there?
