Sounds like your hard drive models may have a problem with the onboard SATA controller.
Acube use Western Digital 500GB models .
Why dont you take out the catweasel and get a PCI SATA card ?.
If your case is wide enough you may be able to get the catweasel to work with a PCIex1 to pci adapter in the PCIEx1 slot.
This option does not work with a bootable PCI cardlike a SATA card but works with a non bootable card like a networkcard or sound card etc.

it will no longer boot any of my hdd's.
I have a catweasel card which takes up the pci slot, and i dont think there are any pcie 1x sata cards out there with drivers for aos.
the pcie 16x slot i want to reserve for a vid card.
my old hdd nolonger boots, and my new hdd wont boot.
I'm so frustrated it doesnt work and that the decent job ive been patiently waiting for(for 12months) looks shakey.I'm a pauper, who still owes templario for the other half of the money for the oldskool amiga case with no job to back it up, or to make this half broken mobo work.Its stupifyingly frustrating.
I was a freaking simpleton for thinknig this thing would work out of the box. or that acube would rectify the drivers so .00000001 of the amiga community who NEEDS to use the onboard port would(me), because everyone else is happily using a sata pci card.
I cant boot off the sdcard and switch over to the hdd on the early boot menu, as it locks up....
