New Maxtor 80 Gig.
Maxblast 3.
Win XP Home SP1
Asus P4S8X (latest 004 Bios)
Installed MaxBlast 3 in windows. Shut down.
Installed drive (tried jumpers and Cable Select methods)
Booted to MaxBlast CD. It saw the new drive.
Added as a replacement boot drive (it copied all files from my current 80 GB drive).
Shut down.
Changed cable connectors and jumpers (and also tried cable select).
Bios sees drive. Boot sequence is correct.
New drive as master will not boot (just hangs after post)
I've tried different settings and sequences a million times. Still will not boot.
Took drive back and tried a second drive. Same thing.
I must be missing something.
(Just for kicks, after formatting one time in MaxBlast, I started a new Win XP install and it booted fine when asked to restart PC (then of course it asked to continue install, but I didn't). So I know that this drive can boot. But when I try to use MaxBlast again, it won't (I tried 2 different MaxBlast CD's also)
Please help me keep my sanity!
Thanks,
R2
