rhialtoIf one buys a new SATA II disk, connects it as a second SATA disk inside the computer, and suddenly the "SATA BIOS" doesn't see either of the disks anymore; and if one disconnects the power of thew new disk, and then the original disk becomes visible again; then one is inclined to think that there is something wrong with the drive, right?
Oh shit, I just recall that there are some motherboards that don't like the double speed of SATA II... mine may be one of those. Now, hopefully there is a jumper setting for this. There are 4 user-settable jumpers on this thing; labeled SSC (apparently Spread Spectrum Clocking), PM2 (apparently Power Management) and OPT1 and OPT2... ok... now to find a jumper.
