unless i'm completely wrong...SATAII drives are backward compatable with SATAI...the only difference between the two seems to be data transfer speeds....so the SATAII will just run at the same transfer rate as a SATAI drive

some hard drives have a jumper that allow the drive to run like SATA 1..does your drive have jumpers on the back...check the documention that came with the drive...

I havn't seen a SATA1 drive for a while, if they aren't backwards compatible it'd be dumb, though companies are known to do similar things.....Anyways from what I know its backwards compatible, it'll just run at a lower speed.
