    is there an nforce2 powermax

    Hi.

    My 40gb Maxtor (7200/133) is a bit knacked. when formatting there are lots of dodgy sectors. To check this out i ran a Hitatchi hard drive check.

    It found an error: 0x72 if that means anything to anyone. Anyway, i want to RMA the drive to maxtor (or try at least.) it is about 15months old, so i dont think it is covered.

    However to do this i need to run powermax. I have tried to use it a couple of times but it seems to quit when i press F8 (even though it says press F8 to continue.)

    Checked back on the maxtor webbie, and found that it doesnt support Ultra ATA with nforce chipset. This is what i have.

    Has anyone else used an Nforce2 with powermax?

    Will
