The old one had a jumper. ;-) And I put it in the same spot on the new drive.


Not sure if there ever was a resolution to this or not and I'm curious.

As was previously pointed out, just copying the jumper settings from
an old drive to a new one is not a good way to go. Did you try
removing the jumper and seeing what happens with this drive? Have you
tried attaching it as an external drive via USB or firewire?

By all the experts here putting jumpers on this drive is not the way to go. At least I was told so. Right now the dirve shows up every other time (yes) on Disk Utility and can not be partitioned or erased. DiksU claims that the 500 GIG drive is 446 GIG.
