Hello all, I have a maxtor maxlineIII that I recently placed into an i-rocks sata enclosure. Now, I can power it up and hear the drive spinning and windows XP automatically recognizes the enlcosure and (mass usb storage) but I can't see the hard drive show up anywhere. It's not in drive management either. This is the same type of hard drive that has a conflict with Nforce4 motherboards which is what I am running.

The whole reason I bought the enclosure is because I can't use the hard drive in my system and I have a 300gb paperweight. Do I need to update the firmware in the hardrive on some other compatible SATA controller or am I missing something that is causing it to not show up?

thanks for the help.
