Thanks for you reply. Yes, it is Maxtor. Here is what happens if i
don't select tab, F8, then Maxtor. I get a prompt that says,"No hard
drive attached to fast track controller. BIOS is not installed". The
next prompt says, NTLDR i missing. Press CTRL+ALT= DEL to install.
That's it.

You  have to go into BIOS setup and set the Maxtor drive as the boot
device.

I went into BIOS set up and selected Maxtor as the boot device. I
noticed everything was enabled, except for 32 bit data x-fer. Should i
enable that? Also, i noticed the primary IDE slave and third slave are
not detected. I got another prompt stating that CMOS Checkum is not
installed. Not sure what that is. Thanks again for your help. I am
explaining as best i can with the limited computer knowledge that it
have.
