I have one WD 40gig 5400 rpm drive as a slave (for some reason windows made it c. My primary drive (d: for some reason) is a Maxtor 60gig 7200rpm 8mb and it is brand new! Now when I have the drives running at the same time, or even when their sitting idle my Maxtor will spinndown and stop working and stall the computer. This doesnt happen when the Maxtor is alone! Any advice? could it be my powersupply giving out? It is a 400W powermax and the 12V rail is low (abouit 11.7 - 11.8). I dont know what rail the HD's run on so im a lil lost here on why this is happening.

Both drives are on the same IDE cable!
