I've put this computer together and every thing's working fine but I had to buy a new hard drive. I installed the hard drive and its a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250 Gb's. It's SATA so I found a 4-Molex to SATA converter so it gets power, and It's connected to SATA 1 connection on the motherboard. It's an asus a7nbx motherboard with a 2.6 Ghz amd chip and a radeon 9700 pro 128 mb. Now the computer boots but it will not recognize the new hard drive. The hard drive's got power though and its running fine. Even when i try to install windows, windows says it cannot detect a hard drive.

What's wrong?

as i was typing this, i thought i might have to clear cmos data. Is that it?
