Re: just bought pro tools and im going through HELL!!! 

That board DOES have parallel ATA ports available (your CDROM is probably connected to one), but (obviously) those can't be used with the drives you've got. If it was me, I'd pull those drives and install a normal IDE drive, just to see what happens (I have lots of drives lying around.) The Serial ATA controller on that board isn't just serial ATA, it also does RAID. Even with RAID disabled, it might not behave quite like a normal ADA (IDE) port. OK, it's lame to have been told 'you should have bought a Mac'. But the DAWBOX guy ought to get himself an 002 (or 002 rack) and figure out what works with the latest Digi hardware and software.
