I have a Maxtor 10GB 7200rpm drive. When I boot my machine it shows the primary drive as ATA33. I am using an Epox 8KTA+ mobo.

edit:
OOOps sorry, I just found it on the Maxtor site. It's only an ATA33 drive.:eek:

Hmmmm, whats the model # of the Maxtor? Are you using an ata66 cable? Also, have you tried flashing the epox bios?

I just checked on the drive. It's model # 91000D8. I am using the ATA66 cable that came with the mobo. I tried 3 different bios because of an unrelated problem but they all showed ATA33 in the initial boot screen.
