I recently bought a 40g backup drive for my computer but ran into issues upon install.My system is:

Amd Ahtlon 1700
Msi K7T Turbo 2 mobo
512 pny ram
Raedon 9800 video card
Samsung 10 gig Master drive
Sony Dvd-rom drive
Lite-on cd-rw drive

I booted off my system, put in new hardrive, connected ide cable, then power and rebooted and after ide detection it didnt recognize a hd being there. I powered off, disconnected the drive and upon reboot, it still didnt recognize it being there. I fully took out the ide cable and installed it back in and nothing still. I swapped cables with my cd rom drives and connected the master drive only and it booted fine. I reconnected my cd drives and it didnt recongnize the hd again. Why would all of a sudden my hd fail ide recognition?
