I just purchased a Segate 1.5TB sata drive (ST31500341AS) from Neweg
for a great price of $129.00 w/free shipping. The problem is tha
Vista64 Home Premium does not show the drive in the Disk Managemen
utility. I have several 1TB drives from Seagate (ST31000340AS) whic
work fine. I’ve connected the new drive to a Sata cable which worked O
with a 300G drive so the port is enabled in the BIOS. I don’t think
see the new drive as the PC is booting because the screen with tha
information goes by so quickly – but I’m 99% sure it is not listed
Folks on the Newegg site mentioned issues with the firmware but mine i
even newer than the revision that reportedly fixed previous issue

Gigabyte GA-EP45-DQ
Intel Core2 Quad Q945
4GB DDR2-106

Seagate 1.5TB Barracuda
Model: ST31500341A
P/N: 9JU138-30
FW: CC1
Date Code: 0921

Have you entered BIOS setup to see if the drive is listed there?

What does the Disk Management tool say? The drive likely needs to be
partitioned and formatted before Windows will see it.

The disk management tool was not seeing the drive, nor was the BIOS
Last night I moved the drive to the Sata ports connected to the Inte
ICH10R and it works. The other sata controller Sil5723 (which is what
had it connected to before, and had been able to recognize a 300G drive
apparently does not support this new drive. So my problem is fixed
although I'm not totally satisfied with the solution since it limits m
connectivity and I have no for free sata ports on the ICH10R controlle
for future expansion
