Hello, I recently bought an 80 gig harddrive at 7200RPM from Seagate with many problems; I then took the seagate out and installed a Maxtor 80 gig 7200RPM harddrive with the same problems. I have installed both drive correctly useing the software which came with the products and setting the jumpers correctly. Keep in mind this is the second/slave haddrive.

-Here are my problems: I have experienced data lost of data on my Cubase SX projects AND I when I save to the second/slave drive and re-open the project, I get HUGE CPU spikes that render my project un-usable!

I have always had 2 harddrive in my computer but this all started to happen when I up-graded to my 80 gig drive. I have a Pentium IV at 2.0, 1.5 gigs of RAM.

Help me the best way you can , PLEASE!
 
Guess you could go into device manager and check the DMA settings on both the primary and secondary IDE channels. Could've switched to PIO for some unknown reason when you installed the new drive.
