Maybe not the best place to ask this, but I figured its worth a shot. I bought a new hdd just opened it up today, its a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11...basically a 500 gig SATA drive...well of course all you have to do is plug this thing in right? Well, i only have a SATA 1.0 controller on my mobo so I set the jumper on the drive for the slower transfer rate and hooked it up...and the bios recognizes it, but as something different every time I boot. Different sizes, different model numbers(although the model numbers seem to be corrupted versions of the actual one), you name it, its wrong. Sometimes its right, but usually not. The mobo isn't that old, its an MSI with a phoenix bios. So can anybody give me some ideas here?

Have you flashed the BIOS with the latest version?

Also, have you tried the drive in a different pc first, make sure its not the actual drive itself. Also, set it back to the normal transfer rate on the drive and try that.

Let us know how those things go.

i tried the drive with both settings on the jumper with the same results...I can't try another pc because I don't have one with a SATA since they are all old...as far as flashing the bios i'm working on it...the MSI site only has downloads that work in Windows and I run linux...so I have to put in an old IDE drive, throw windows on it, download and flash from there and see what happens...I thought maybe this was a common problem with these drives because I've never used one before...once I get this bios flashed I'll let you know

Well I got this bastard working...I went through the bios for about the tenth time and realized that I've had this thing overclocked, which I totally forgot about....its an AMD64 x2 3800+ which is meant to run at 2.0Ghz I had it running at 2.32...and for some reason this had something to do with the drive detection apparently....at least for now it works

Sounds a bit weird. One should effect the other in any way. I only ever buy AMD processors and I've overclocked almost every one and I've never come across that.

Of course, I only ever buy Asus m'boards. Perhaps that has something to do with it.
