Maybe you inserted the connector the wrong way around at both the drive and
the motherboard. In that case, the straight wires are right, but the twisted
ones are wrong (instead of drive select, some other signals are swapped). Try
turning the connectors 180 degrees at both the drive and the motherboard.
