Man.. I've never had this issue before and after banging my head and trying to find solutions online I come here..

So I have a Intel BOXDP55WG LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX mobo with an i7 870 processor, everything installed fine, including the heatsink. Here's the problem, it won't see more than two SATA II drives. I've checked the BIOS settings and they all appear to be fine. After windows was installed, I tried to add the drive and it still didn't see anything. The drive works fine in another computer so I know all 3 SATA II's work. The funny part is that after changing the cables out to different ports, the machine wouldn't even post, until I removed all but the main drive. After it posted, I restarted with the second drive in and it was fine. Add the third drive and no post.

Any ideas on what this could be? Maybe a BIOS update or BIOS setting that I'm missing?? I need this computer up and running yesterday so this is starting to piss me off to say the least.
