I had a big problem with Maxblast a few years ago. It wrote something
to the boot sector that was very hard to remove and caused a 'normal'
format/install to not work right because the disk was not recognized
properly. I had to get a special utility from Maxtor to remove it,
then it worked. Don't recall all the details, but Maxblast might still
be a problem.
