It won't. It's a problem with the bridge chip (IDE controller) in the
ADS enclosure. Either a firmware update or a kernel update _may_ make a

Or you could ask the vendor of the Seagate HDD for a replacement from a
different brand. I have read before that some IDE controllers have
problems with certain HDD brands but not with others.
