Since it is a Western Digital drive, then take off all the jumpers (master without slave setting), put it ALONE on the end of the ribbon cable and see if it will work that way. Put your CD drives on the secondary channel.

Then, be sure in your bios you have the boot sequence set to:

CDRom - 1st
Floppy - 2nd
Hard Drive - 3rd (the boot drive)
