You did not mention which motherboard you installed but the early ASUS TX
mobos had trouble with recognizing Seagate hds because the PIIX4 I/O
controller uses an output voltage of 3.3V which is the minimum input level
for a valid "high" on the Seagate drive.  I would assume that other MBs
using the TX chipset might have similiar problems.
Seagate is aware of this and will be addressing the problem. Supposedly
Seagate will add a label to their modified hds (PIIX4 Chipset Tested).
