Is IDE OK?

Hi,

we have INTEL SAI2 motherboard. When using with IDE drives, I have the
following problem:

1 Primary IDE does not recognize the disk, even if it is ACTIVE. There were
two test
disks and the error is the same.
2. I can install operating system on disk, that is connected to IDE 1 from
CD "sitting"
in IDE 2, but after restart, I obtain that there is NO DISK. When moving
disk to the
SECONDARY IDE, it works as expected.
3. IDE cable is classical one for lowest speed that works with any ATA low
speed disk.

Is the Primary IDE faulty? Is there any special test, except for real
testing with IDE device?

Regards,
Milos
