Hi. My build broke for some reason and I fixed the rest but my IDE hard drive does not seem to get recognized. All of these parts have been working fine together for months. I fixed whatever was broken (I think) and I went to connect everything back together and i did but my IDE hard drive isn't getting detected.

Anyone know why?
 
Does the BIOS detect it?
Is the jumper set properly?
Did you try a new cable?
Do you hear it spin up?
Do you see the drive listed in the OS device manager? (if running XP; start, run, diskmgmg.msc)
Is it formatted?
What was broken that you fixed?
 
Well I decided to just RMA the board and the PSU.

I RMAed the PSU and the one I get back i'm just gonna sell because I picked up:

For $80 AR on newegg.

The hard drive wasn't recognize by the BIOS or Vista. I couldn't tell if it was spinning up or not. I've had it for 3 years now with no troubles (so yes it's formated).

Hopefully the motherboards IDE slot got broken somehow.

Wow, how'd you get it for $80AR?

It was $130 yesterday and had come with a $50 rebate. But then newegg jacked up the prices to $170. So it's not $120AR rather than $80AR yesterday.
