That's correct. WD has the same thing, but dear god did I have to dig on the WD site to find the correct jumper setting. Not that it made any difference. The motherboard still ignored the drive. I ended up getting an inexpensive SATA to IDE converter and running it that way. > -Original Mes

I might be mistaken, but that is not necessarily true, my Seagate 500GB SATA 300 drive has a jumper that you can put across two pins to make it recognized as a SATA 1.5 GB/Sec . This might be what he's talking about. Anyone else jump in on this to tell me if I'm correct. Fred Holmes wrote:
