check the jumpers on the back of the hard drive. there would be 2 rows of 5 pins, and a block that goes vertically connecting one row.


Its differnt for each hard drive but they normally say what it should be ontop.

if its your only drive, they should be set to just master.
if you have 2 it should be set to master WITH slave. and have the 2nd set to slave.

And are you sure you have the ribon cable connected with the right end, i believe the end end goes in first drive. the middle connector goes to 2nd.

Also, go into the bios, make sure your boot sequence is..

Floppy
CD ROM (or dvd)
Hard drive.

and check over the hard drive settings in bois for anything funny lookin.
