Or the hdd is SATA 2 (and the system SATA ports are only SATA 1). Jumper the hdd to SATA 1 / 150. Or maybe that system wont work with a 250GB hdd. How big was the IDE hdd? |

I believe you're correct about the jumper settings and SATA2. The model of the SATA drive is WD2500AAJS WD says: Interface 300 MB/s Serial ATA 2.0 (backwards compatible with Serial ATA 1.0) I have looked at the specifications but there is no indication of where to place the jumper to adjust to SATA1. The hdd has Default, SSC & Opt1 enabled or PHY enabled? Can you tell me where to place the jumper. |

| 1135712 | 2010-09-09 04:05:00 | I have no idea where to put the jumper, but this may help wdc.custhelp.com 3Jvd19jbnQ9NDUsNDUmcF9wcm9kcz0yMjcsOTUmcF9jYXRzPTA mcF9wdj0yLjk1JnBfY3Y9JnBfc2VhcmNoX3R5cGU9YW5zd2Vyc y5zZWFyY2hfZm5sJnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9anV tcGVyIHNldHRpbmdz&p_li=&p_topview=1 Also check the BIOS for something like VIA OnChip IDE Device enable it and set the "SATA Mode" to IDE or Native |
