I recently purchased a new MB (Asrock K7NF2-Raid Socket A), a new 160 Maxtor hard drive (model: 6V160E0) and have gone from using Win XP professional to Win XP home edition.

Maxtor hard drive link
I have noticed some rather strangeness. Sometimes when I start my PC, Windows will just hang at this screen forever (See Pic) and is sometimes followed by the dreaded blue screen with white writing, usually indicating that there's an error on the hard disk.
When I installed the MB drivers I need to leave out the option for the Nvidia SW IDE drivers and just use the Windows Xp drivers. If I install the MB's drivers my hard drive does not start at all!
I still have an 'unknown' device in my device manager that I can't install for love or money. Don't know if that's anything to do with this problem. See Pic
I need some input.
Thanks for reading!
