i have an abit kx7333r motherboard. the latest bios update and the latest 4 in 1 drivers installed. i recently purchased 2 wd800jb drives and put them in a raid 0 configuration. it's all setup and runs great...except for when i go into the raid bios utiltity, it shows both drives as ata/33??? they should be ata/100??? what gives? i even went to western digitals wesite and got a utility that manually sets the transfer speeds? please help!
 
the very first thing you need to make sure is that you are using the new 80pin cables that should have come with the new drives.. also double check that bios is reading them properly and that the cables are seated squarely.. I've had numerous problems in recent rebuilds of systems with 80 pin cables where the cables that came with the drives were faulty. Replace the cables and you will probably be fine esp since the system does recognise the drives.
