try booting linux to see if you can write to the hd. the output of lspci -vn
would be helpful if you find the disk to be good.
if this is an ich5 or ich6 motherboard with sata+pata (that would be all of 'em),
you're going to have trouble with sata drives. the port configuration is nonstandard
and the ide driver doesn't know about it.
if you do have such a system and you do have an ide-only system, there's probablly
a ide-only bios option that may let you boot.
