Download Seatools from Seagate on to a floppy and see if you can get that utility to recognize it. Don't forget to have your floppy in the boot order when you do this. If the utility doesn't recognize it, you may have a bad drive. BTW, in the bios, do you have Sata set to operate as IDE?

Note:

Enter the Bios
In the Advanced area (or integrated peripherals area
Sata Controller Mode (remember, some boards have different things, so it will be only something like this)
Set this area to "IDE mode" for now.
Save and exit
