trouble detecting hdd

[kopykat]

Hi,
I got a new 120gb western digital HDD and im having trouble detecting it. I currently have a 160gb western digital sata hdd installed, a 40gb western digital ide hdd and a lite-on dvd writer (832s if it matters). the 40gb and the dvd writer are connected both to the same ide cable. as for the the 160gb sata is ofcourse connected to a sata controller. i tried connecting the new 120gb to a new secondary ide cable and it wont get detected. tried playing around with the jumpers and still no cigar. on another computer the drive got detected right away. when i check the bios i only see the 3 drives installed and an option for one more drive, why am i not seeing an option for 3 more drives?
anyone ever have this problem? plz help me out, i need more space! thank you.

Might be worth checking the BIOS to see if anything is disabled on the IDE channels - worth it for about 5 seconds of time...

Well, if your 120 Gigs is master without a slave, then remove the jumper completely.
