>You have entirely too much faith in my hardware expertise. I have been dubbing around throughout May just trying to install a SATA(N) drive and still haven't gotten the machine to acknowledge its presence. Enough of that tomfoolery. The economic theory of comparative advantage goes back nearly 200 years and seems no less true today. Dubbing around with this drive has convinced me my time is better invested elsewhere.

On that Serbian forum someone already had the same problem (though it seems the drive just died - confirmed by finally inserting it in another machine), and one of the advices was to try with a different cable and/or different port. Some of these cables don't hook up too well, and some motherboards are stupid at some ports.
