Hmm ok.

Shut down your computer - re plug in your SATA drive, then turn it back on, Press F8 (maybe F10, or F12) or whatever F button you use to get into your BIOS. Now in your BIOS make sure you IDE drive is selected as the main boot drive.

Still having the same issue? Strange.

What is your complete system specifications? RAM, PRocessor, Motherboard, Power Supply (need the name brands and models of all).

Have you tried connecting your SATA drive to another SATA port?

Alright I found your motherboard manual:

If my suggestion still doesn't work, try resetting your CMOS (with both of your hard drives attached). It is found on the second page of the manual for your motherboard.

Edit: Going through your BIOS manual - make sure your SATA controller is enabled.

Was your hard drive working previously? Do you know of anything out of the ordinary that might have happened to your computer when your hard drive stopped working?
