- 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 |

| i would do that, but it doesn't work on my dads computer when it only has a hard drive and a cdrom. i've tried booting from the drive as well, nothing. >: ( |

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