    When you say the Promise card bios doesn't see the drives, do you mean at
    post? That would be a hardware problem. Are there other drives on the main
    ide bus? If they are being detected, try removing whatever is on the promise
    and moving the detected drive onto the promise card and see if it is still
    there, even a cd drive would do, but you should see it detected on screen at
    boot, right after your main bios info is displayed. You may want to check the
    jumpers as well.
