Even though the drive is now installed and is storing data OK, every boot-up
tells me the system has found new hardware and wants to install the software
for it.
My biggest problem is probably I should have read these posts rather than
the instructions that came with the Maxtor drive! This was my first SATA
install.
I installed 250GByte Maxtor SATA drive as a 3rd drive on my P4C800-E
motherboard in one of the non-RAID SATA ports. The MB found the drive in BIOS
just fine. I tried to run the MaxBlast and that's when things started going
wrong. I finally did get windows to recognize and format the drive when I
went to Windows disk manager (XP Pro SP2).
Even though it appears to be working fine, each time I reboot I'm stuck
cancelling out of "found new hardware" wizards.
Any help would be appreciated.
