Update your BIOS. Also verify that you have a SATA I or II drive with a SATA I or II controller/motherboard. I am not entirely sure if a SATA II drive will work on a SATA I board.

The first step is to get it to recognize in BIOS. Set all of the drive connectors in the BIOS to Auto. Also verify that the SATA controller is enabled in the BIOS.
