    Check your jumper settings.

    Is there anyway you can try another Sata cable???. Doesn't have to be Sata3. Just another cable, a new one or from another pc.

    First thing I would check is >

    Have you got your drive on the correct Sata socket on the motherboard?

    Some sata ports on board are made ONLY for attaching dvd/blu ray drives!

    Default is for a SATA3 motherboard, do you have a SATA3 motherboard?

    In post 10 above, you said NO.

    I don`t think that`s your problem as the hard drive will just transfer/read/write at sata 2 speeds.

    I suggested to try another Sata cable just for troubleshooting. If you May try a different cable you still experience troubles after that We should try something else...

    Set the jumper to SATA2,
    or
    buy a Sata2 HDD.
