Q: Why is my drive recognized by motherboards that
support SATA II and not recognized by some older
motherboards?
A: Some motherboards with older chipsets (i.e. VT8237) can’t
support SATA II (3.0 Gb/sec). The solution is to either use a SATA
II host adapter card or use another motherboard that can see the
SATA II drive and set the drive’s SATA mode to SATA I (1.5 Gb/sec)
before replacing the drive to the SATA I–only motherboard. A
Feature Tool utility is available from the manufacturer to change
the SATA mode.

Thats a quote from the manual of the drive.
What this all means is to change the drive to sata 1 you need to put it in another computer, find the firmware at the manufactuers site to change it to run at 1.5g/s
