I'll try to help you, but I'd need to ask several questions. Was the pc working before the problem, or is it your first time putting it together. Have you tried connecting just the bare minimum parts like one HDD, one memory, connecting the onboard video etc.. Get back with me as soon as you can.
Take out the hard drive.
At the back of the hard drive you will find a jumper. pull it out and change the location or put it at the end.
connect the hard drive and check.
just like usb1 and 2, the sata2 harddrive will simply clock down to match the speeds of its port. the connections for both types are identical so there are no possibilities of problems...other then the motherboard saying "nope i cant read that", which most likely wont happen.
ohyeah...ram does the same thing too.
but honestly, if you're using a mobo thats only sata1 and you've got the dough for a new 1tb harddrive, you should consider upgrading your motherboard first...much better money spent
there are jumpers on the unit sl is slave, cs is cable select, and ma is master, i recommned putting it on cs (cable-select) and using the middle connector for it, then goto the bios and confirm
Check your user documentation for the hard drive to see if it has a user-accessible jumper that will switch it to 1.5Gb mode. I know that Seagate/Maxtor drives have a jumper they refer to as Force 150 and Western Digital calls their jumper OPT1 Enabled. If this option exists with this hard disk, it should solve your problem.
Your motherboard has 4x Serial ATA connections , as you are using 1 already this means you can add a total of 3 SATA new HDD to the system. Size doesn't really matter but thesedays you should be able to get good value for money on the 200-500GB version of the sata drives.
If you have windows installed already on the existing 40GB, then you can add the new HDD alongside the existing, then in Windows set up the new HDD as a new drive letter, giving you all the free space to save your files on.
