Did you try the new drives in the same position as the old drive, or as additional drives? They have to be jumpered (or not), for Master or Slave, depending on the presence or absence of other drives on the same cables.
Web sites for the various brands of drives normally show jumper settings, and often, they are shown on the drives themselves.

Are ATA and IDE the ame thing? I am asking this because I have a Beige G3 that will only accept the hard drive that came with it. And written on this hard drive in red pen is ATA. I tried putting several regular IDE hd's and none of them would work. Please help! ~ Ben ~
