Some more info would help.

Is the DVD drive IDE or SATA?
Is your HDD IDE or SATA?

Maybe it's IDE and your jumpers are set incorrectly...

Are the master/slave jumpers install correctly? If they are on the same cable, the HD should be jumpered for Master and the DVD for Slave.

If the DVD drive is on a cable by itself, it should be jumpered as Master. DVD drives usually come jumpered as Master out of the box.
