Ok! First time this thing happened to me. It's on my PC at work. I added a new HD this morning (160g Maxtor IDE). It'll be use as a slave. My primary drive is a WD SATA 200g. Problem is that Windows XP doesn't see the drive at all. It's plugged correctly and the BIOS sees it just fine. Tried a bunch of things to no avail, like "Add New Hardware", etc.... Updated the Nforce drivers.... etc... Any help would be appreciated... thx!

I'm not sure if you can put a IDE drive on a computer that has a SATA HD on it.

Did you use MaxBlast software provided by Maxtor? I used it to install/format my 120g Maxtor hdd (slave). It works fine with WinXP.

Yep! One of the 1st thing I did... MaxBlast didn't see the drive either in XP.... It did find it with the bootdisk tho...

Just for refrence, should you have future SATA problems, try _removing_ the nForce drivers, they're a well-known trouble maker. I had to do just this to make my first SATA drive work.

Well, it was an IDE drive... An old one I had in my home PC. I don't know what BIOS setting was interferring. Anyway, I did have some problems, at home, when I tried to installed my 2nd SATA drive (200g) at home... I wanted to use it as the "master" but everytime it rebooted after format/copying files the PC would say that there was no system (or something like that). I had to go to the Maxtor site to figure out I needed to installed some 3rd party drivers during the very beginning of the process (Press F6 if you want to...). The info was hard to find too...
