Different Controller

Hi, assuming your new HD is not defective, what I can advise you is this...your motherboard has 4 SATA connectors, 2 in the Intel Southbridge (ICH5) and 2 attached to the Promise RAID controller(Lower part of the MOBO), try enabling the Promise Comtroller in the BIOS(if it isn't already) and attach the Maxtor to the SATA RAID 1 on the promise controller and see what happens.
Make sure when you enable the Promise controller in the BIOS that you put it as IDE and not as RAID.
Hope this will help
