SATA Drive Stability Problems

by eraser3498 . Updated 22 years, 3 months ago

Recently I upgrade my system with a new Maxtor 80gig SATA Hard drive. Model number 6Y080M0. Installation of the new drive went well and the drive was detected right away. Once windows is installed that’s when the problems start. Crashing freezing etc. I can’t narrow it down to a specific program because it does the same thing no matter what order I install them in. I had to switch back to my old IDE drive and it seems to be working fine now. What I was wondering are there any other things I could try to remedy the problem or is the drive defective? Any help is greatly appreciated.
