    I have a wester digital caviar se 120 gb hard drive that cannot be detected on a machine with a Pentium III and a Seanix Columbia III motherboard. The hard drive works on my other machine (asus a7n8x deluxe with an AMD 2500+). I tried my western digital 200 gb hard drive (currently in the AMD 2500+) on the Pentium III and it was detected right away. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Thanks for the tip! It wasn't recognizing it because it was too large. I put jumpers on pins 3+4 & 4+5 and it recognized it immediately. Hopefully there are no more problems from here--it's doubtful, but I can still hope.
