I ran the PowerMax on both drives and both passed certification!
The Maxtor is new, the Quantum 4GB is the one that came with the box. If I unplug the Quantum no error shows.

15GB: Pavilion 8240

I really don't want to use MaxBlast on this 532DX 15GB HDD.

It is a 430TX chipset and HP has no updates for this bios. Where could I get one that would work? I will be running 2k. The orginal drive is a 4GB Bigfoot with Win95 that will be a storage drive.
