Welcome to TSF:
Dont install raid drivers. Did you install the motherboard chipset drivers. The intel .inf driver to be exact
Does the seagate drive show up and get properly identified in the bios / in the hard drive boot section of the bios
is the IDE auto detect set to "enabled"
both drives should be recognised without any additional work / by the sounds of things you did all that should have been required to set those drives up
now we just need to isolate a freak problem
try booting the computer thru the bios with the maxtor drive unplugged (pull the four pin power plug) dont let it try to load windows though / hit the switch to turn off the computer as soon as bios is done / then reconnect the power plug on the maxtor and boot again
also try seeing if drive shows up in disk mangement / right click on my computer / click on manage from the menu / then click on disk management from the next console / does the seagate drive appear in their ?????
may not hurt to try another cable or are you using the new drive cable that came with the P4P800-E
post your findings from above / and we will get this ironed out
regards
joe
