Are you sure that the drive (in machine's SETUP) is configured to LBA? I had the same trouble with a Maxtor hd (10Gb) and it only worked ok when I did a ROM update in my QDI board. Look for the page of your mainbord manufacturer and find an update. Interesting... It worked after I entered the drive's geometry by hand and LBA mode... Taupter
