Hi-

The problem could have to do with the settings in the BIOS (or CMOS). It may be obvious, but I'll say it anyway. Get into the BIOS settings mode when the computer starts, however your method is for that board...probably hitting either the esc key or F1.

Once there check that the bios tells the system to autodetect new drives and enable LBA and UDMA modes. Other than that, maybe a cable problem, voltage problem.
