Sounds like a
faulty or incorrect ribbon cable! Possibly connected upside down. IIRC 80 way
ribbons are the standard cable for ATA66 &ATA100 drives whereas the previous
standard used a 40 way cable.

Hardware wizards!! Can anyone translate this one? A friend of
mine has
installed a new hard drive. On the boot screen after the
memory checks and
drive detections, he recieved this message after
installing a new hard drive.
It reads "Primary IDE no 80 conductor cable
installed.", and the drive is
useless. I'm left in the shadows.
Anyone know what this
means?
