Hi
What OS are you running, what sort of hardware, any recent changes on the system?
Try loading the power on or default CMOS settings first...

Hi,
Can be a little more details about the problem?
Cause, it could be a cable that connected to your hard drive, or a jumper on your hard drive doesn't match with your BIOS setting.
Another possibility: not enough power consumption for your harddrive, your first cylinder may be damage, ???

Hope this help, and I suggest you recheck your hard drive.

Check the master/slave relationship on the CD-ROM or whatever that I assume in on the second cable. There might be no problem at all with the HDD because those are getting detected correctly.

Some devices HAVE to be master - you might have gotten snagged by that.
