| I am kinda assuming that you have correctly detected the size of your 20G HD in bios. Some HD's don't like being on the same cahin as maxtor/Seagate. Particularly Quantum. They often cause issues when there are other HD's in the systems, and on the same chain. ALSO make sure that you don't have the drive jumper set as Cable select. Set it to master.

| And to finally check that it is the HD, does the bios in anyone elses PC recognise the HD. If theirs does, then your MOBO is rooted. If it doesn't, then the HD is dead.
