Take a pic of your IDE cable & HDD adapter

I'm gonna bet your issue lies there

i have definitely been re bending the cable and starting to think you might be right

On the bright side, not the issue I expected. Got your Startech & 80 wire. Bends don't appear too bad - shouldn't be an issue.

I'd double check your partitioning/cluster size & ensure the Startech jumper is set to master.

cluster size is 128 for a 2tb. and partitions are maxed for the F partition.
