Well this is the problem.. Yesterday the comp was workng. I Decided to do a little wire management and the hooked everything back up. It turns on fine, but it keeps saying no master IDE hard drive detected and it continue booting up. That makes sense because I only have one 640gb SATA hard drive, so what could be the issue?

hoping for an easy fix.. thanks.
 
A quick google brought this up:
When using the connectors in Standard IDE mode, connect the primary (boot) hard disk drive to the SATA 1/2/5 connector
Click to expand...
That said, did you change the connector your HDD was plugged into?
 
Edit: Good to hear - saw your reply after I posted a picture on how to see which connector corresponded to sata 1/2/etc.
