Hi Gang

I have an older Pent 3 computer, that is slow but works ok. Now I tried installing a new HD a Maxtor Diamond Max 120G. No matter how I set up the Bios it keeps telling me the drive is ATAPI incompatible, but yet I can slip in an older drive and it boots up just fine. That would tell me the cables, etc are all ok.

How can I be more definite about the Maxtor drive being bad, or the MB not being compatible or some thing in the Bios not set right. I would hate to think a new drive is bad already.. The drive does run, but I cannot get the computer to recognize it.

Thanks and take care.......Gunny
