New hard drive problem
I just bought a maxtor diamon max plus 9 120 gigabyte hard drive and tried to install onto an Asus P2B-F (440BX) motherboard.
It detected the model number fine, but when it goes to the screen where it enumerates all the supported features of the drive, the bootup halts. I believe I have the latest asus BIOS for that motherboard. Is there something I am missing here? It isn't a master slave issue either.

I second Boner in his suggestion to call Maxtor.
Although I would check wether it isn't the cable first. Could be. Who knows. Try unplugging it and plugging it back in and making especially sure it's plugged in correctly (no bent pins or anything), double-checking the master/slave settings, replacing the cable, etc. If none of this yields any results (positive or negative, THEN I would buy Maxtor or Asus. This way you can avoid all those stupid questions by simply saying "Yes, I did that". Anyway, good luck and let us know how it turned out, K?

I have yet to have any issues with Maxtor and I would never call Maxtor support since that is the only thing about Maxtor I hate. Check your jumper settings and do what Mattborn said if you can. Try using it in another machine and see what happens. I have the same drive as you but it only has 80gigs of space. I am able to use it in my very first system and its a frikin dinosaur. 400mhz celeron lol
