sata2 drive on sata1 mobo

    Got a new seagate drive for extra space recently and set the jumper to limit to sata1 1.5Gb/s transfer and got it set up fine. Formatted recently and since then the drive isn't being recognised under xp anymore. The bios sees it but other than that there's no sight of it. Works on any sata2 board so it's not the drive. Installed the most up to date sata drivers for my board too so not sure why it's not workin', i figure it's driver related but any input would be muchly appreciated. The extra drive's a 300gb barracuda, msi k8t-neo mobo.

    Have you checked the disk management console in control panel\administrative tools\computer management

    If the drive does not show in My Computer it needs to be assigned a drive letter first or try formatting it again through Windows.

    It's not listed in there, nor will something like partition manager see it either. It works perfectly on any sata2 mainboard and still contains all data so i'm still thinking it's driver related.

    You should not need a driver installed in the first place as it the SATA controller emulates an IDE controller so Windows uses the standard IDE driver.

    A few suggestions;
    Check the bios make sure it is running in emulation mode, SATA RAID mode is disabled
    Uninstall the SATA driver you installed
    Try taking off the SATA1 compatibility jumper

    Bios is fine after a recheck, fiddled endlessly with the jumpers and device channels and tried several drivers. Unless there's some sort of seagate-specific driver i haven't heard of, like the other sata drives work fine. Not sure what the hell's gone wrong. Might just try format windows again.

    Thanks for the help but found out that i have a damaged controller which took down an sata socket, probably have to get a new board. Cheers 8t8.
