Hard drive not recognized

I am using a Shuttle SV-24 (FV24 motherboard) as a small Linux server/testbox. Recently, I accidentally broke a resistor (or something) off the controller board on the computer's hard drive. That drive was a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB ATA100 7200RPM 8MB cache drive. I got a good deal on a new Maxtor drive (250GB L01P250 Ultra Series 8MB cache UATA133), but after connecting the hard drive (primary master with no slave), and setting the jumper, I tried booting the computer, but the hard drive is not recognized as being attached to the computer. After trying every jumper setting to no avail, I attempted to connect 2 different hard drives from my other computer (a WD1200JB and a WD2000JB), neither of which worked, despite trying different jumper settings. When plugged into my main computer (which does not have ATA133), the Maxtor is recognized perfectly.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this? I am going to update the BIOS once I can figure out how to do that without a floppy drive (because the computer only has a CD-ROM drive). It's not a matter of the 137GB limit, though, because the 120BG WD1200JB isn't recognized at all either. I have tried different cables, but that's not the issue either, because after reconnecting the old Seagate, the computer still tries to access it (and I believe it would work if not for the broken controller board).

Any help would be greatly apprechiated. Thanks.
 
have you gone into the bios to have it rescan which drives are connected?

Not just the intial boot check, but to actually go into the bios and tell it to check.
 
does your board support ata133?(nevermind duh) if u have the adapter try it through an sata slot.
 
I have tried scanning for the hard drive through the BIOS setup, and it still doesn't find anything. The board does not have ATA133, nor do I have a seperate card that does, but the Wester Digital drives that I tried were both ATA100, just like the Seagate that worked. Thanks for your replies, though.
 
do u have the jumper settings on correct? try this even if it sounds redundant remove all your cdrom drives, and hard drives. Plug just one hard drive, the ide 100 into the first ide slot they are labeled so u will know. make sure the jumper settings are on master and try it out by going into the bios and checking to see if it recognized anything. if it did, try the ata133, on master and do the same thing.
