Alright, I'm installing a Maxtor DM9 120GB S-ATA on my new system. The problem is, the drive isn't recognized when the computer boots. It IS however recognized by the BIOS setup and the WinXP installation program. I can create a partition & do a format and begin the installation, BUT when the computer reboots the first time, the inst.prg. won't continue (just start over). Just as if there is no drive...
I also installed WinXp to an older HDD, the SATA drive were still connected, and I could use it w/o a problem... still no luck getting XP on it...
