Hard drives are very, very senstitve to EVERYTHING. The distance between the read write head is 1/20th the size of a human hair, thus if you have ever dropped it you are f*&#ked.

Slave/master/CS settings ok ? Have you sys'd the drive if it's a slave drive. Shouldn't need to but maybe the Bios needs it to recognise the drive. It's not on a ultra ATA card is it?
Could be defective as well.
