Is the hard disk recognised fully in BIOS.
If not check your jumper and cable settings.
Also check the cables. I have had IDE cables fail on me before, I keep a spare 80 wire and 40 wire IDE cable and spare SATA cable just in case.
Master drive is the end of the IDE cable, Slave the centre connection.
Jumpers need to match the drive connection or be Cable Select.
Check the drive channels are all set to Auto on BIOS.
I still believe your best option is going to be to backup all your data and then re-install.
