|  I have a Maxtor 40.9 7500 drive, on a cusl2 board. Not able to get the bios to detect the correct drive size. Is there a problem with the motherboard bios or the Maxtor 40.9 gig drive. ..The only way i can get this drive to work is by using the max drive software. Is anyone having the same problems? please help .. thanks |

| i have no idea, that's what the bios reads it as on boot. WD205xxx Udma 2, Mode 2 WD450xxx Udma2, Mode 4 something to that effect, i forget the actual numbers, I'm going to write it down, and repost on my next boot.
