Hi everyone!
I hope someone here can help me. I just installed a new Maxtor 1TB SATA II/300 hard drive on my system but I cannot seem to find it when I click on my computers.
This new hard drive does show up in the BIOS.
I did see some notes on the Maxtor install instructions about needing to use the Force 150 jumper if I have a VIA chipset. I have no clue if I have a VIA chipset. I think it may be a VIA because it is a ECS 945GCT-M/1333. Yet, I am not sure if using the Force 150 jumper is the right thing to do.
I wanted to ask someone here what should I do. My system is running so well thanks to many people here and I did not want to mess something up.
Can someone help me discover how to "see" this new hard drive on my computer?
Thanks,
Freddy
