SATA Drive problem

Hi All,
I'm not sure if this is the right/best NG for this but...

I replaced one of my older two Maxtor SATA 120GB with a new Seagate
320GB SATA drive on my HPT374 ATA RAID Controller. The DOS format and
partition went fine and the drive seems to work okay in the DOS test
mode.

When I boot into Win XP the sounding device on the controller card
beeps continuously. Windows recognizes the drive and it's lettered
partitions. I look at the partition's "Properties" and under
"File System:" it says "Raw".

In the Event Viewer I get an error 51 message: "An error was detected
on device \Device\Harddisk3\D during a paging operation."

After messing with it for a bit with no luck I put the old drive back
in and it still worked fine. I have the 48bit addressing working and
my 250GB IDE drive works fine so no problem there.
I think the drive is okay as I can boot off the Seagate
format/partition CD and all the tests come out okay.
