I was wondering if anyone has gotten this combo to work? I just got my maxtor 40 gig the other day and put it in... and installed win2k final. I load it on the ata 66 controler and everything seems to work fine. Until I get to the point where your background color screen is just about to appear and it locks up. I can go into safe mode on the ata 66 controler but not normal mode. If I move the drive to the ata 33 controler it boots up fine. Also that is using all 40 gig as 1 partition. On one of the loads I put it at 30 gig as the main partition. Am I running into some sort of limitation? The Bios says it can handle 40 gig drives so that is good. If anyone has had any luck with this... please let me know. I guess I will just run ata33 until I figure it out.
