Bios does not recognize hard drive - Hard drive appears as 'Rigel' rather than as Maxtor 5T060H6. Apparently some hacker got to it. Any way to re-program it?

Can you format the drives in an extended partition with 2 different file systems? One is already formatted and is not a regular system so is not seen by Vista's explorer and the other I would format as an NTFS logical partition. thank you!

Would I be able to use this adapter to add my old ATA HDD to my new HP computer. I want to be able to transfer my files. Also, if I can use this adapter, will the computer know to boot up from the SATA HDD?
