I have 2 x maxtor 160gb SATA drives on my computer (ECS PF1 mobo, P4 2.4 HS
800FSB, 1gb RAM, RADEON 9200). The problem is when writing to either drive
they drop out, I lose them from MyComputer and Windows reports "unsafe
hardware removal".
I have updated the mobo to the latest bios, re-formatted the drives using
Maxtor's MaxBlast 3, re-installed a clean copy of Windows XP SP1 (I had to
buy cos pre-SP1 doesn't support 137+ HDDs) and still both drives drop out.
The computer supplier says it's a hard drive problem or Windows, the hard
drive supplier says it's the Mobo or Windows and Microsoft won't help cos
it's OEM.
Can anyone help? I currently have 320gb of hard drives that I can't use and
this has dragged on a month.
