Dell SC1425 and large (750GB) SATA drive not seen

[Steve Hanselman]

Hi,
 
I've a Dell SC1425 which works fine with a pair of 80GB WD drives.
 
I have just tried to put a pair of Seagate 750GB SATA drives in and they
are not seen, not by the BIOS (which I've now upgraded to A03), nor by
Seagate's standalone utility nor by Linux.
 
The chipset is an ICH5, any reason why this wouldn't support these
drives?
 
Drives are ST3750640AS and I've also tried using the 1.5GB limit jumper
as well
 
Seagate say they must be DOA but it seems a little unlikely that I'd get
two in a single order!!
 
Steve
