Hello, I just bought a new Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9 80 GB SATA hard drive. It is connect to my motherboard on Sata 4. I also have raid0 setup on the raid ports 1 and 2. Basically bios detects the drive as well as windows xp but it wont let me format it. Basically windows crashes when I try to format. The drive seems to be doing something for a while but then the system restarts. Could it be the drive? I tried PowerMax but due to raid0 or somthing it doesnt work corretly. Any ideas guys?
