I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I've not had the m/board
wired up for some time and when I fired it up it reported CMOS battery
failure. Now I've re-entered all the settings and saved it OK, and the
BIOS definitely reports a 1.44 3.5in Drive A.

I don't have a spare battery to prove it out but I don't see how it
could cause this problem anyway if on bootup the BIOS reports the
drive correctly.
