Well I would just check that the IDE or SCSI (whatever you use)
controller card is seated properly on the motherboard. Pull it out and
put it back in again. Then check all the cables connecting the hard
drive. Reseat them as well. Doing these things can't hurt (earth
yourself with a static strap or some alfoil from the kitchen). Then just
see how it goes.
