I just bought a Maxtor Basics 1TB drive. Last night I installed it. I read the instructions in the manual on how to set it up and so I went into the admin tools and did all that. However the drive is not showing up in my computer and in the admin tools... it shows as only having 33mb.
I went into my BIOS although I don't really know what I'm doing. It shows the drive there as well... at 33mb again.
I went back into windows to try and get it working with the included software on a cd, only to find out that my computer is having issues with my SATA DVDRW from Lite-On now. It says there might be a driver issue.
So what could cause my 1TB drive to only show 33mb and my DVDRW to stop being recognized? I'm sure these issues can be fixed, but I don't know what to do. I tried googling my problems and didn't come up with much.
I have a quad core, geforce 8800gts, 2g DDR2 ram, Lite-On DVDRW, 300gb HD, 80gb HD, 1TB HD.
