If it's not detected in Windows but is on the controller card BIOS, then the
disk likely just needs to be partitioned.

If you're running Win2K, it would not be unusual for it to be identified as
a SCSI device in device manager.

Pelle

Open the disc administrator (in the control panel under computer
management).

Additionally I guess it is not unusual for disks on a separate controller
card to be listed as scsi. I have a Gateway that came with a Promise Ultra
card and it shows as scsi in device manager. "That's normal" was the
response I got when researching why.

FWIW I put a Maxtor 120 in my D8200 and once set up (partitioned and
formatted) through disk management it works fine. (using onboard controllers
not a card)

In mine its not even goes throu bios....just freezes

It should be showing up in your BIOS without using a controller card.

How is the drive configured? (master/slave/cable select).
Are you using an 40 pin. 80 wire data cable?
Is the controller enabled in the BIOS?
Is anything else on the same controller? What is it? How is it configured?

If possible try running the Maxtor provided diagnostics on the hard drive.
You might have snagged a bum drive.
