Hard disk not working

[agriz]

It is IDE hard disk. It needs jumper settings.

I tried to use after long days.
It didn't work when i try. So, I let it go.

Suddenly i though, i should change the jumper, and i changed the the jumpers to 7-8, 5-6, no jumper
It worked for 5-6 (The image in the hard disk says, 5-6 is cable select and 7-8 is primary or single drive)

I installed one old linux for testing. It worked. So i disconnected it. Connected with my new sata hard disk to download latest linux.
again i tried to connect without changing the jumper, it didnt work.

I have attached the screenshot. Jumper is connected in 7-8 for this screenshot

* Windows shows the hard disc but it does not show the size. (Right click properties : free space : 0kb used space 0kb)
* BIOS shows the hard disk name differently (RT240005@) But the real name should be STAXXXXXX

If your drive's actual model number is ST340015A, then it appears that the IDE interface is dropping either bit 0 or bit 8. This points to either pin 17 or pin 4 on the IDE cable.

Here is a comparison between the good and bad model numbers, in hex:

52 54 32 34 30 30 30 35 40 RT240005@
53 54 33 34 30 30 31 35 41 ST340015A

If the IDE cable checks out OK, then inspect the interface pins on the drive's PCB for cracked solder joints.
