I know that most people would say that you use master and or slave settings but with my replacement Maxtor 80Gb installed in my G3MT, the only way that I could get it recognised was to use the cable select setting. I use the standard original IDE cable and it is the only drive in the G3. I dont understand why it works that way but it does; so don't discount the cable-select setting on the drive.
