SATA drives are not supposed to need jumper settings!<br \/>\nWell,  adding a jumper onto pins 1\/2 (spread spectrum disabled) and one on pins 5\/6 (150mb data transfer speed forced) worked!<\/p>\n<p>A little background.  The motherboard is am MSI KM4M-V (MS-7061) version 1.<br \/>\nI comes with a southbridge VIA VT8237 v2.1 serial ata bios&#8230; one of the first.<br \/>\nMany folks had issues with this early bios and there were some attempts to upgrade it, but I have not tracked those down.<\/p>\n<p>So.. the WD3200AAKS sata hard drive is recognized and boots and all is well.  The next step is to see if both jumpers are required for it to be operational.<br \/>\nSo:<br \/>\nONLY Pins 1\/2 jumpered &#8211; fail &#8211; spread spectrum<br \/>\nONLY Pins 5\/6 jumpered &#8211; success &#8211; 150mbps force<br \/>\nGood to know.  Now we can test the 1tb drive WD10EACS which also was not recognized.<br \/>\nThe &#8220;good&#8221; WD 320gb drive completed testing in about 1 hour.<br \/>\nThe &#8220;problematical&#8221; WD 1tb drive is now estimating at much much longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a testbed computer here that is a few years old and so far, every attempt to connect a SATA drive to it and have the computer see the drive have failed.
