Question: My SATA HD is WD 800JD. But the HDD cannot be detected by VIA 8237/8237R based motherboards. How do I solve it?(2005/7/15) Answer: Please refer the following picture to install a jumper shunt on pins 5 and 6. It will enable HDD SATA 150MB/s only operation. Then the HDD will be detected by VIA SATA motherboards.
