Maxtor had a hard drive firmware update to work with an nforce4 motherboard
that I had to do on another computer. I had to contact them for the
firmware update, it is not online as far as I know, but this was the
Knowledgebase article about it:

Google for 'seagate nforce', and you'll find quite a few results. Like this
one suggesting you contact Seagate for a firmware update:

I've also had to jumper SATA2 drives down to SATA1 to be stable - not
Seagate, but probably the same applies.
Good luck,
Greg
