[QUOTE="Kingfisher, post: 335327, member: 70145"] The problem and solution are very simple, I have come across this many times with older machines. The A7N8X only supports SATA150 (aka SATA 1, or first generation SATA). Most SATA150 controllers will not recognise a SATA300 (SATA II) drive, which your 1TB drive will be. What you will find is, on the 1TB drive is a jumper setting which limits it to SATA150 (ie 150mbps speed). This will then allow it to work with the SATA150 controller on the motherboard. Jumper locations can be found [url=http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1679&p_created=#jumper]here[/url]. (OPT1 setting) [/QUOTE]
