Hi all,

I have a new ASROCK K7VM3 motherboard and a
Maxtor DiamonMax Plus 8 40G ATA/133 HDD
6E040L0 which passes all the diag tests.
When I go to the Maxtor knowledge base they say
to get a new controller card or use their overlay soft
ware. No other solutions are listed.
Problem is that the hd only shows up as a 33G
drive from the bios.

Did you actually go into the BIOS and set the drive to "Auto"? and then
save and reboot?

Yes. Drive still comes up with 33G limit.

Called Maxtor tech support, downloaded MaxBlast and this fixes it.

later.........
