I got a Maxtor DaimondMax Plus 8

When i connect it to hd doctor for maxtor and click load from hdd - it jsut flicks and nothing loads- shows error
the same thing happens with DC- power on - spinds up heads reads SA- error.

But if plugged into computer bios detects hdd model number and size correctly. it takes a bit longer but it does it.

But in os nothing shows in any utility.

Anybody can suggest something- its a bit strange.
