This is the e-mail forum, but I think you solved your own problem. Maxblast software is from Maxtor and doesn't work with Western Digital Hard Drives. Get their Data Lifeguard Diagnostic program and that should recognize your drive.
If not, you may have a BIOS limitation and a BIOS flash may be required. Your system may not even recognize such a large drive after a BIOS flash. You should have gone with a similar size drive, but give it a shot.
