Recently I bought a new hard drive Maxtor DiamondMax 40 and tried to install the neew hard drive. The Bios in the motherboard refuses to detect the hard drive even if it is placed on sec or primery channel. I have already tried using utility software from maxtor websie called maxblast and jumpon. Still bios refuses to detect the hardrive,the computer freezes during the detection. My hardrive is placed as the secondary prime. Currently I have Soyo 6VBA 133 motherboard with 4.51 award bios WD 10.2 hard drive on primary master ViperII video card with newest drivers and bios. The drive that I try to install is 40.9 gig HD.
