OS: XP-Pro Sp2 & XP-Pro Sp2 Tablet Edition, Vista Ultimate

My System

You need to boot with the Maxblaster disk that came with the drive. Partition and format the drive and then it will be recognized and allow you to load the OS. If you bought the oem drive, download the software to a bootable cd and follow the steps above....good luck.
