When you say the BIOS looks ok, do you mean you see the hard drive listed or not?
Did you try the hard drive on the other controller on the mobo that is available and may be connected to your cd drive?
Are both the primary and secondary ide channels enabled in the BIOS?
Did you change any jumper settings on the hard drive or cd drive?
