I have a Seagate ST32120A 2.1G harddisk, but also this P11 motherboard. The m/ won't accept the hd This is what the seagate help page says:
"Motherboards/host computers using the PIIX4 chipset are designed for TTL bus logic level input/output signals. These TTL signals are at a logic level of 3.3 volts. While these new motherboard/host computer chipsets may be "5V tolerant," capable of accepting input signals at a CMOS 5V logic level, their output signals can only be at a TTL 3.3V logic level. This lower output signal level from the PIIX4 chipset creates an unreliable operating condition for the affected drives." The page doesn't suggest a solution. What can I do? It's ridiculous.
