Did you have to install a SATA card? Are you using a different cable to hook up your new drive than the old one?
SATA uses narrow red cables. You can't connect a SATA drive to the same kind of connector you could older parallel ATA drives. Not without a converter, anyway.
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus drives can be either SATA or PATA, which is why I ask...
Either way, I doubt this would be related to your problem. What is your "external drive" and what is your "internal drive"??
