Using a Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 3Gb/s 1-TB Hard Drive

possible hard drive failure, try shutting machine on and off consecutively 10 times, to get running.
good luck

Hi Simlei.
If its a modern, fairly new drive, it should have built-in firmware, without a need for extra drivers.
If you OS is old the OS itself may not be recognizing the drive's 'language', especially if the bus-width differs, ie 16/32/64bit.
As 1 TB is quite recent on SSD's, I guess its new.
My 1 TB Toshiba just plugs into USB and Win Explorer detects it as a storage drive.

yes your motherboard can be match up by an 1 tb seagate barracuda hard disk drive.

Yes a 1 TeraByte Hard Drive will work for your intel motherboard.

The link above shows what your motherboard can handle. Any Hard Drives now can operate smoothly on any motherboard. You can only limit your RAM or memory from the motherboard. It can only handle 2GB of memory, but your fine on Hard Drive space and lots of memory. If you plan on a new Operating System, I suggest sticking to Windows XP or Vista. 3GB is required for Windows 7 operating systems. I hope this solves your issue of installing a new Hard Drive to old motherboard.

could be the sata cable not seated properly or bad cable. check connections. If its the only sata drive connected make sure it's plugged into sata #1 slot. Could be drive, motherboard or bios problem. Next step would be to update the bios. That might help.

Yes, although I would use my 160 as the master and the 1TB as a slave to store my info though.

The PCB has a faulty component called diode, try to get it replace, it is in the power supply section

Improper power supply will cause the malfunction of the HDD. Try to coordinate with vendor/dealer who provided the product and repair the same.

Hope this gives you the information you need

You could also try setting the jumper on the hard drive to "limit to 1.5gb/s".
