Like I said, I was surprised myself that it came back to life... I'm
just happy the sata BIOS on my board is good after all! I'm not running
a sata drive, but with all the other glitches this system has been
having, it's nice to know one part is ok <grin>

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.
Got to re-reading these comments. The onboard sata controller is a
Silicon Image 3112A. Damn Small Linux, Debian, Dban all found it with no
problems.

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.
