About 10 days ago, I posted the details of the death of a MythTV system.
Here is a brief follow-up:
I removed the original A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard and installed a new one.
The same error occurred! Unbelievably, the BIOS on the new motherboard
still saw only the First SATA Master hard disk, and not the second one!
So, I replaced the SATA signal cable between the second hard disk and the
motherboard, and the problem went away.
The lesson I learned from this experience is: When the BIOS doesn't see
all the hard disks, try replacing the cables first. It's much easier than
replacing a motherboard.
