So i just bought a used Diamondmax 10 from someone on [H]. Im trying to install it but i cant get anything working.

Ive hooked it up as Master, and its not working. During the windows install i cant format it fully, the only one that works is quick format but when it gets into the windows install part that shows the mouse pointer it gives me a BSOD. I thought it might be the memory but thats confirmed to be good. I cant even boot with the harddrive as a slave and my old boot drive attached.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
What about booting up with both drives set as Master (one on each channel)

are you sure the jumper is set correctly? sometimes there is a different jumper for single drive, and another setting for master with slave...
