driver for HD ATA MAXTOR 6B200M0

I'm looking for a Windows XP driver for an internal hard disk ATA MAXTOR 6B200M0.
I searched the Maxtor site but didn't succeed in finding it.

I have 3 internal hard disk on my PC, and the Maxtor 6B200M0 has been mounted in a way that requires a driver, kind of master/slave I guess.
I wasn't aware of that and so when I reinstalled Windows XP SP2 I deleted it.
Now this hard disk is recognized by linux but not by windows.

Thanks for any help.

The hard drive shouldn't need a driver for Windows - no hard drive should if it conforms to the accepted standards (and maxtor drives do). What's more likely is that Windows does not recognise the device or adapter to which the drive is connected and it's this you need a driver for (you did say the drive is mounted in a way that requires a driver, which is why I am saying that).
