I am using a 80GB PATA hard disk in my system.I recently bought a 1 TB seagate SATA hard disk.I connected it to the main board but my system is not detecting it.But the same SATA HDD is detected in other SATA supported board.

Is the problem is related with SATA versioning (1G and 2G)? Can anybody give some inputs on this?

Is the BIOS already failing to recognize the drive or just your OS? – Bobby Jun 14 '10 at 10:15
Bios itself is failing to detect my SATA hard disk – Renjith G Jun 14 '10 at 10:48

Motherboard manufacturer and BIOS version would be helpful here. It could be a BIOS issue. – Zoot Oct 18 '10 at 2:05
Some bios's you have to enable the specific sata port for the drive before it will be recognized. Some early hybrid (Pata-Sata) boards have problems with Sata II drives, some hard drive manufacturers have a jumper to clock it back to Sata I. – Moab Oct 18 '10 at 3:09
