What brand of BIOS? Phoenix?
The computer is 2 years old, but the HDD is new. Right?
Have you run the Maxtor boot utility that came on CDROM with the harddrive?
How makes your motherboard?
IDE 100/33/66? What kind of ribbon cable? SATA?
How many amp's is your PS rated for? How many other devices are you currently running on that same power supply? Give me the break down the power supply channels, if you can.
Do you hear the HDD spin up when you boot your computer?
