The enclosure is described as SATA I and SATA II compliant, and here it is:

After all this time and trouble you have not tried the eSATA interface? Is that because you have no eSATA port? You can get a eSATA/SATA combo cable, or an adapter like I described upthread regarding the enclosures I use. Just be sure to connect and power on prior to booting if any of the hardware does not support eSATA-only features.
I might try to change a jumper position anyway to see if it helps, but I have more faith that a direct installment of the disk in the PC might do the trick.
I'd try the combo cable first if you don't have to wait to get one.
One might suggest that the Asus P4P800 deluxe has trouble reading 1 Tb disks, but since the MacBook Pro could not either that possibility can be ruled out.
I doubt it has anything to do directly with the size but rather with the capability of the enclosure's USB connectivity. On reading that web page I see a conflict between the features and specifications regarding the maximum eSATA transfer rate. That reduces my expectation of the competence of the hardware. -- "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control." Proverbs 29:11 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
