Well something must be screwed up on my system. The only thing I have under the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section in device manager are the primary, secondary and SiS Bus Master IDE controllers.
My Maxtor is listed under the 'Disk drives' section..with no mode information anywhere ... only scsi info, and the CDroms are under the 'DVD/CDROM drives', again with no mode information...
I think I'll call my motherboard manufacturer today about this also but I will watch for anything you post Disk Co. And thanks a ton for helping!
