Default help needed on a harddrive question !!

I have a Abit Max 3 motherboard and I have just purchased 2x200GB Seagate
harddrives....Please tell me what I am doing wrong I have installed them and
have had no end but trouble with them both....I can't copy any files without
it frezzing my machine...What do I need or have to do to make them work...
I have done a BIOS update and drives too and still no go...
They are connected to my Sillicon Chip on my motherboard....It should be
easy plug n play....

Please HELP anyone !!!!!
