Both BIOSes are up to date. And looking through the update information
neither company provides updates specifically to address 48bit data
transfer or large hard drives. Could it be a problem with the ribbon
cables? I'm really quite stumped about why the 240 and 200 Gb drives
work, and the larger drives don't.

I remember using a zero write program from a linux disk, and only then
was I able to "see" the Maxtor's full 400Gb. Unfortunately I was a
klutz at using the program and couldn't figure out how to fix my
problem. Can't remember what it was called either.


yes I believe you need the 80 way ribbon cable.
