Having some problems with a drive.

[OmnipotentJ]

Hello everyone, I have been thinking of building a NAS for month's now and finally stepped up last week. I ordered all the part's from various places with the final parts arriving yesterday. I decided to use 3 WD 1 TB green caviar's in raid 5 (will upgrade to 4 later) and have a separate 2.5" drive to hold the operating system (home server). My problem is after building the machine the BIOS can see all the 1 TB drives and reports there capacity as 1 TB but the IDE 2.5 drive is reported as having a capacity of 0. When i try to install Windows Home Server it can't prepare the drive it just sits there waiting for the bar to go up. I then plugged the drive into my PC and it worked fine, Home Server installed correctly no problems... my specs are -

AMD 5050e
J&W MINIX 780G-SP128MB
4GB Kingston 1066
WD1600BEVE - with laptop to IDE converter
3 x WD green caviar 1TB

I think this might be a motherboard problem however the BIOS is the latest revision. Thanks for reading any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Obvious suspect is the IDE converter.

Aye, but it worked fine in my PC.
