99SL2, you are doing the right thing by taking each step at a time to figure out whats wrong. Since you've now tried everything stated, I would say before blaming the motherboard, by a hard drive from best buy or whatever, or I have extras, (small ones for testing) and hook it up. If it still doesn't recognize the drive, then yes your motherboard is definitly shot.

If you've got a spare one, let me know. A spare PSU too, mayhaps, just for a quick power up to see if my PSU is dying out from being on all the time. Might not be spoolin the bitches.
I heard through this thread a rumor on RAM being a possibility. That high or low probability for this issue? It's reading it all in the BIOS, so I'm going to guess a low probability.
I just think it's kinda wierd to lose 2 HDD's in a split second without a power surge. =/
Oh! When I swapped the HDD's and CD drives from primary/secondary, the CD drives still read. I think I forgot to mention that. So it's not the slot, unless it's not picking up the HDD info for whatever stupid reason.
