Ok I have 4 Sata hard drives total, and I can plug 2 hard drives into the ports Raid 1 and raid 2 and it will detect, but whenever I plug it in to the ports sata 1 and sata 2 it wont detect. But I did get lucky once and I got 3 HDs to show up with one in sata 1 but every time i plug in the forth one it goes back to only reading to hard drives :( Im super puzzled WTH is the problem. lol

thats a picture of how it was when I got all 3 plugged in.
 
Check your SATA drivers and look in Device Manager and make sure the SATA 1&2 chipset is showing up. I know on my motherboard one bank of SATA plugs are fine, but the other is disabled.
