xp won't recognise third SATA drive

Have been using XP Pro with an AsRock ConroeXFire-eSata2 mobo and two sata
HDDs and it' s been nice and stable.
Now trying to add a third SATA drive but although the BIOS sees the third
drive it doesn't show in XP (neither an icon in my computer nor in Disk
Management.)
I formatted this third drive by disconnecting the second one temporarily so
windows would recognise it and then format and make active in Disk
Management.
But reconnecting back all 3 disks I can only see two again, except in the
BIOS.
Bios is AMI P1.40 09/06/2006.
To me this looks like a Windows and/or driver issue and not BIOS as the bios
sees the three drives. But I could be wrong.
Help please.
Thanks
