Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with a maxtor 120gig/8megcache drive I recently put in my machine. It usually hangs up for 15-30sec will navigating through file folders within the windows environment. It's 1 of 4 drives in my machine and is the only one acting this way. I just recently upgraded my power supply to a 450w heavyduty thinking I was under powering it, but not the case. I've formatted it many times and did often defrag it, but still acted the same. One thing I noticed is under the drive's properties , there is not "enable cache for better performance ...." like on my other drives?? - no selection is allowed here. Often I have to 'ctrl-alt-del' to get out of it hanging. It's really frustrating! Any suggestions?
My system is this: MSI motherboard, athlon xp1800, 40gig/ata133 boot, 30gig/ata100 media, 80gig/ata100 video-1, 120gig/ata133-8megcache video-2!! 1gig ram, firewire card, ethernet card, audiophile soundcard, 32meg videocard, cd writer, dvd writer, floppy, cpu fan, 450watt(heavy duty) power suppy.
Thanks in advance!
