Ok, I started out to "fdisk" a 40gig Maxtor..
Got a error message said unknown OS.
So I started up Powermax, Maxtors diagnostic tool, to test the hd . The program didn't pick up the hd or the cdroms, it is suppose to.
So I updated the bios to the new one. Still no luck.
Pulled out another Maxtor 40 and it fdisked. But it is also not recognized by maxtor's Powermax, neither are the cdrom drives.
Although in the bios it is..
So I installed XP.
Data transfer between the cdrom drive and hd is slower than I am use to.
Then I ran SiSoft's "file system benchmark".. It didn't stop with any results after 10 mins I stopped it..
I think there is something wrong here..
