1st boot both would not be there, reboot only the
second missing, then both show
on 3rd boot kind of thing. As far as errors go both
the SATA's threw new bad
sectors daily to the point I was cursing Sleazgate
again as I run over 20hrs of
Seagate DST testing wondering how 2 seagates could be
such junk. No reprieve on
that until I swap PSU & have no more bad sectors!.
Problems didn't start until I added the 2 SATA's to
the 2 IDE's + CD + DVD in
the box. Guessing the load was just too much for the
poor antec. MBM was telling
me my 5V was over 3% out of spec, I've just been
ignoring it thinking "false
positive on shitty Antec PSU". I was half right, lol.
