I started a new thread as this is another topic sort of.
'Maxtor DiamondMax 10 160GB S300'
Basically Maxtor SATA Drives arent compatible with nforce chipsets.
Mine is nforce3 with the latest drivers/firmware for BIOS & the chipset.
The drive works as i stuck it in a MSI Motherboard with a VIA Chipset (i think). Worked fine.
So for it to work with nforce chipset based board, should i get a SATA PCI Card? Any specific make? What are the costs? This drive is for storage only, i'm not installing an os on it.
Thanks for any help guys
