Why a 40pin cable? Think you mean 80. Make sure ide cable is
installed properly, #1 pin pointing to the red power lead..
Double check jumper settings, with some drives you have to set
jumpers on the primary drive differently, then if your running a master
with a slave drive.
You would think that the master is set to master and thats it.
But with western digital there is a jumper setting for master with
slave.
