Why would drive run at UDMA33? (Segate 80GB)

[Lucas Holt]

Are you sure that both IDE controllers on the motherboard are ATA 100 
or better?  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.
