At first, it would not recognise my linux install at all (installed on my 500gb SATA drive) nor would it boot up XP but all of the drivers etc I could find were XP based so I figured I'd try that route first and then come back to linux when I made sure it was all running. No chance! I still had no luck after formatting my SATA drive back t NTFS and trying a fresh XP install. So I thought "why not try the LinuxMint live cd?" and guess what - no problems at all. I am now back up and running with a fresh install of Mint. I guess I will probably try to get XP back soon (I still havent made a complete break unfortunately) but this distro seems to have done the job that other OSs failed miserably at!

This has worked for some (see link below). This isn't possible with the non-Pro IP35 boards though. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=698912 I just want to add that if you have the IP35 Pro or IP35 Pro XE, change the SATA mode in your BIOS from IDE to ACHI.

Putting it in port 5 or 6 tells it to operate in PATA mode. Linux recognizes this. Some driver issues with the SATA mode though. :( I want Linux though so I put up with it, too.

I've had mine just over six months as well and nothing recognizes my maxtor 500G. I was just about to reload linux and was checking to see if a fix had been concocted... and here it is. Thank You.
