If by Ultra ATA 66 controller you mean an add in hard drive controller
care, many of these appear as a SCSI device. You might, to test the
drive, install it to the regular IDE controller on the mother board.
You may have to activate it in the BIOS. Check with the Maxtore site, I
don't know if maxtor did it but some WD drives had to have a utility to
run to set them to run at a slower speed. I assume the drive was an
upgrade, I con't think that even Gateway would build a computer this
way rather than going to another motherboard.
