xps gen 3 sata detection
Ive upgraded my video drivers twice so far. to the 4.7's and 4.8 betas. Every time i install them and restart the comp when loading says theres nothing on all the sata connections. then i hit F2 to go into the setup menu and it still doesnt detect any hardrives. so then i shut down the system. then turn it back on and it detects all the hardrives and then works flawlessly.

Beta drivers often cause unintended problems.

actually it just happend again. it seems to happend when i uninstall any program. i just uninstalled counterstrike then rebooted and this time it couldnt detect the 74gb hardrive on SATA 2. ANd that one is on my RAID. So when its booting it says RAID failed. So i turn the machine off and restart it and then it detects it fine.923

It rarley does it, but it did it again and i took a pic
i have 2 hardrives and it detected one this time, each time it does this it detecs a different hardrive or none at all, fixed this problem by turning off computer and then back on and hitting ctrl-i and reseting the RAID setup, but this still happends since it happend again,

Try updating your BIOS, they are now up to version A02, two versions beyond what you have now.
