PowerEdge 2450 Hard Drive Problem
I've got multiple PowerEdge 2450 servers with (4) 1" drive bays. When trying to use all 4 drives on either of my Windows 2003 servers it only sees 2 disks. When looking at the Device Manager it shows that there is a problem with the Secondary IDE Channel stating that "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use"
I believe that the problem is being generated by IRQ 15 which is being used by the System board. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and or have a suggested fix (Other than trying another IRQ range)

Are these physical or logical disks? Are you using a Raid controller at all.
As far as the secondary IDE, you probably haven't got anything installed on it or have you?

Sounds like you have a split backplane and only one channel connected.
Try removing all the drives and have a peak in to where the drives sit on the BP.
You may see a daughter card. This splits the BP. Remove if it is there and the BP
should then run off the one channel.
