my apologies, my d630 runs the 965GM rather than the 945GM. however the
compatibility specs are roughly the same. after some searching around I
found this:

http://superuser.com/questions/734579/sata-drives-on-intel-945-board

is there any possibility you may have a sata 3 drive which is not backwards
compatible to sata 2? I realize all sata 3 drives are "supposed" to be
backwards compatible but if history is any indication.... well, you know.

I don't currently work, so my schedule is pretty wide open.
