Hi,

If the BIOS can not detect the Hard Drive you have 2 choices, assuming
all jumpers are set correctly and the cables are properly installed.

1) the drive is bad
        a) try the drive in a machine that you know will detect that
size drive and see if it                reads correctly.
        b) swap the drive from your supplier and retry in your machine.

2) the bios does not support it;
        a) FLASH UPDATE THE BIOS to latest version that reads large
HDD's or
        b) Use a disk overlay program from Maxtor to install the Drive,
obtainable from their web               site.  If the drive does not
respond to this, see #1.

Thanks and have a Great Day!
