Why is the system unable to detect my newly installed Maxtor hard drive?
Check for the following:
• The hard drive is not physically installed correctly. Check the cables to verify that they are fully seated on
both the hard drive and the motherboard. Verify that the hard drive is spinning after powering the system on
and that you have an adequate power supply for all of your devices.
• The hard drive is not auto-detected in the BIOS Setup. Re-enter the BIOS Setup and try to auto-detect the
hard drive again.
• The hard drive is not partitioned and formatted. Follow the instructions in “Formatting the Hard Drive” on
page 18 to partition and format the hard drive with the MaxBlast 3 software.
• The hard drive is attached in the wrong position on the ATA cable. If you have attached the hard drive as a
slave on the same cable as a CD-ROM or DVD device, remove that device and install the hard drive as mas-
ter. If the hard drive is now detected, add the CD-ROM or DVD device as a slave on the same cable or
attach the device to a separate ATA cable.
• A conflict has occurred with another device in the system. Verify the jumper settings on each device attached
to the ATA cable, and try reversing the order of the devices on the cable. Try installing the devices on sepa-
rate cables, setting each as a Master device. Try the new hard drive alone as the only ATA device attached to
the system.
