I wonder why I couldn't get it to do anything on my system, not even
with PowerMax? I wonder if I have another bad MB, or maybe the nvidia
sata raid controller just doesn't like the drive. I seem to remember
seeing something about Maxtor sata drives and nvidia sata
controllers. I figured since the drive originally worked that this
drive wasn't affected. hmm... Maybe since the fs was frazzed when
the mobo died the drive was left in a state that the nvidia controller
couldn't deal with. Looks like I need to do a little more research.
Thanks for all your work, definitely over and above the call of duty.

Well, wasn't really a call above duty just I got investigating and
discovered the drive was alive and started testing with the assumption
it was bad trying to prove it otherwise... Well, it's alive! (From
everything I can determine)
The only thing I can say is from the RAID BIOS menu, I did start a
'low level format' on the drive, then tried the other things. Maybe that
might have made a difference.
Anyhow, I'm bagging up the drive, will have it Tuesday.
