I think I found the problem......and explains why it shows up as IDE5.

I built this system a while ago, and don't know why I did this but I
did. I
opened the case and noticed the following:

On the primary IDE I have the Sony DVDrw as the master, and the
Plextor CDRW as the slave....wait it gets better......
Nothing on the 2nd IDE.
Then I noticed I put a SCSI card (PCI slot ..giving me 2 more IDE
slots) to which I have the WinXp hard drive as master and the Maxtor
hardrive as slave. Nothing on the 2nd IDE.


I don't understand. If the PCI card is SCSI then the HDs attached to it
must also be SCSI. SCSI drives will not work on IDE. Do you mean the
PCI card is IDE or are the drives are SCSI.

The OP refers to master/slave assignments. Clearly he's not using SCSI.
