I might be mistaken, but that is not necessarily true, my Seagate 500GB
SATA 300 drive has a jumper that you can put across two pins to make it
recognized as a SATA 1.5 GB/Sec . This might be what he's talking
about. Anyone else jump in on this to tell me if I'm correct.

If he's setting jumpers, the drive is PATA, not SATA.

Another thing to consider is that mobos only 3 years old or so will have
SATA I support, but may not recognize SATA II drives, even though they are
supposed to be backwards compatible. I've been burned by this.
It's very hard to find SATA I drives any longer.

Loose data or power cable? If the motherboard and data cable support
"cable select" (CS), then both drives should be jumpered CS. If not,
then they should be jumpered 1) master, and 2) slave. If the first
drive was jumpered "single", then you would have to change it to
"master". With Western Digital drives, "single" is generally no
jumper, or with the jumper "parked" (jumper is horizontal, across two
pins on the ground side).
