I've seen several motherboards where the primary (first) ATA controller is ATA 100 and the second was ATA 33. The second one was intended for CD-ROM drives and the first for hard drives. By plugging into the first controller, you could rule this out as others have suggested. Some maxtor drives require a jumper for ATA 100. I'm not sure about all seagates. I just put in an 80 gig seagate and it steped down to ATA 66 correctly in my iMac which shipped with a 10 gig.
