SATA Help Needed
JeepMonkey:
I tried the jumper setting to enable 150 support,thinking that my MB wouldn't support the 300, but that didn't work. I sent the drive home with a buddy last night to see if his machine, a newer super-gamer, would recognize the drive.
At this point, I think I will just buy a new MB, processor, and RAM then get my old machine working enough to turn it into either a myth tv box or maybe another MAME machine.

The jumper setting Thenasty mentioned just changes the method by which the drive communicates with the SATA controller. It has nothing to do with the size the drive will report.
The motherboard bios can only physically address 250GB so changing the drive communication setting won't do anything unfortunately. :-[
This is actually a good wake-up call for me as well since I was gonna invest in some 750GB drives but I guess I had better check to see if they'll work with my 2 year old ASUS.
