- Is the master/slave shim set properly?
- Is the drive formatted?

I would guess that it's a problem with the drive, then. Either that, or there's a problem with some driver in Windows.

I have an idea- and it could help.
Right click on My Computer, click on Manage, click on Disk Management, and make sure the hard driver is assigned a drive letter. Or change the drive letter (in case it coincides with your CD or DVD drive).
In fact, I'm quite sure this IS the problem since you have so many drive or "mounted" drives.
Good luck

Didn't even think of that. Good idea.

don't tell your teachers, but back up your hard drive onto their email server
...known from a videotape the two made when they met in March... in Dresdens home, Dresden amputated Gabriels penis and Dresden and Gabriel ate the penis together...Gabriel had insisted that Dresden bite his penis off; this did not work.. Dresden used a knife. When that knife turned out to be too blunt, Dresden used a sharper knife to slice the penis off. Gabriel apparently tried to eat his share of his own penis..but could not because it was too..."chewy". Dresden then sautéed the penis in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic.

first of all
go to the maxtor's site and download some support software (like seatools, for seagate drives)
