[QUOTE="nbrowser, post: 880641, member: 47609"] They stopped making SATA I drives and finding one is a treaure hunt, on your brand new Seagate drive on the back will be a space with old style pins on it next to the SATA data connector, if you go to the Seagate website and bring up the jumper configuration for your drive, it'll outline in picture which pins to place a jumper cap on to, if you don't have any jumper caps laying around, any small computer store can help you out with that. The jumper will effectively disable SATA II mode and backthrottle it manually to SATA I mode, It should after a jumper is installed in just the right area. Cheers [/QUOTE]
