A7N8X Deluxe SATA Problems

Thanks Ben
I missed out telling you something, I have Windows XP on another HD, it's a
WD 80gig ATA 133.
When I boot with that drive on it worked fine. I don't have a spare drive
now (. Any suggestions.

Well... now I'm confused.

Does it work with just the WD?

Does it work with just the Maxtor?

Does it work when both are in?

Do the CD drives seem to affect it?

please complete the following:
Primary Master:
Primary Slave:
Secondary Master:
Secondary Slave:

SATA: Maxtor.

And when you say you're runnig the latest SATA drivers... .40? What about
the BIOS?

Which nForce Driver package? 3.13? With or without the SW IDE drivers?
