Hi ejn63,

Thanks for the response, the settings you gave me are exactly what I found on the Maxtor website.  I tried them and the PC counln't find Drive 0 or Drive 1.  If I leave them with just that upper right pin covered, it does find Drive 0, but not Drive 1.  In the BIOS I have both Drive 0 and Drive1 set to "Yes" (enabled I would guess).  Is SATA Operations OK when set to "RAID Autodetect/ACHI (the default setting)?

 

Really appreciate any ideas as to what is wrong.

The jumper settings are detailed right on the label on the top of the drive itself.

Cover the second pair of pins in your diagram (up/down) for cable select.
This is the second to last pair furthest from the power connector or J48 according to Maxtor.

First, I'm a very slow typist.  Yes, they are both SATA drives.  The power cable connects to the second drive in the upper bay, then the end connects to the system drive in the lower bay.  The data cables are each separately connected to the motherboard.  The second drive to SATA-1, the system drive to SATA-0.  Maybe the new data cable is the problem?  It doesn't look as hefty as the factory installed.  It's a Scorpio Serial ATA 150 cable,  Specs: 

Compatiable for Serial ATA 150 Cable

Serial ATA 7P Connector (Main Board-Hard Drive)

Cable: 26 AWG*2C+HMAM+2d, Jacket:PVC, UL2725

Insulator: Foam PE

Impedence: (90+)hms)

Sorry I so slow.  And, again, thanks for any and all help.

Thanks, that is an excellent picture.  I set both drives to cable select (jumper over J48).  Put new drive (to be the slave) in the upper bay, connected it to  SATA-1 on the motherboard .  Put the formated/system drive in the lower bay and connected it to SATA-0 on the motherboard.  Have Drive 0 & 1 set to "yes".  Yet PC would not recognize either drive.  With no jumpers (just that "plug" on the upper J42), it will recognize Drive 0, but not Drive 1.

Cannot figure out what is wrong.

Are these EIDE drives, or SATA? If SATA they need no jumpers - do you have a SATA data cable connecting the drive to the SATA 1, and is the drive connected to the power supply?
