Just for the records.
After searching for all helps I tried several discs and only a Seagate ST375064 worked. Note that this is an IDE disc.
I tried the next SATA discs:
Samsung HD103UJ (1 TB)
Maxtor STM31000340AS (1 TB)
Seagate ST3750330AS (750 GB)
All stoped during booting while the SATA Controller (Silicon Image SiI 3512 SATALink) showed their names but not their size.
Finally an 750 GB IDE disc was recognized by the computer.
So my diagnostic is that the Silicon Image SiI 3512 SATALink Controller embeded in this motherboard can not manage discs bigger or equal to 750 GB.
Why? I do not know.
