Do you have the jumpers set right? Does the HD comeup correctly in
your bios screen? Check your cables are they inserted correctly? Do
you have them plugged in backwards? Try using the utils that came with
the hard disk to format if you still have problems.

I just got one of those from Newegg and have issues as well. First, it
would not get past the CDROM boot option, just stopped there.
Found out that this board does not like the Lite-On CD-RW drive I have
in it slaved to the hard drive. Put them on seperate IDE channels both
as master and it works.
From time to time it still has trouble detecting the hard drive on boot
though, says there is no boot device.
Not sure if the HD is really going bad or what, it worked great for
years before replacing the MB in the system. I think this board may just
have some stupid IDE issues.
