Hello,
I just bought a WD Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS SATA300 drive and wanted to use it together with a Maxtor 6Maxtor 6B300S0 SATA150 disk.. however, when I connect both and start up I get the "hardware initiate failure" until I boot up with the Maxtor alone.. the same message occurs if I start with the WD disk only. I've got a A8V-Deluxe motherboard and I'm aware that the WD only will work as a 150 like the Maxtor.
Anyone got any ideas what could cause this?
Thanks in advance!
Other speccs:
AMD Athlon 64, 2200 MHz, 3500+
1024 MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)
RADEON X800 Series (256 MB)
