I recently bought a 300G Maxtor HDD and installed it and had similar problems. Even though it said that it had not formatted it, when I went in through the Disk management console in Computer Management, it showed up without a drive letter and unformatted. I assigned it a drive letter and then magically, it showed up as a dynamic disk which was read and writable in both XP and Vista (which I've since dumped) and haven't had any problems with since. I don't have the Intel App accelerator so I'm not sure what caused my drive issues. Good troubleshooting. Interesting. I recently bought a 300G Maxtor HDD and installed it and had similar problems.
