I see it's too late now (there's a "resolved" response further into the thread), but I wonder if you did the obvious thing: Plug the drives into the board in a different order? On multi-port motherboards I make a point of working out which is port 1, 2, etc. And I plug in the first drive in the first port, and so on and so forth. Hopefully, any additional drives that get added onto the higher ports, later on, don't change how the hardware orders the earlier drives. Of course, you could still have drive orders changing, depending on how it manages the ports. Or perhaps, depending on the speed the drives get ready at. But you've probably got more chance of things behaving consistently, when you manage your hardware that way. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
