Is the IDE you're attaching the drive to enabled in the BIOS?

Is it windows that doesnt detect it or the BIOS?

The K7S5A is very particular about IDE devices. Try setting the second hard drive as cable select, OR set it as secondary master and slave the CD-Rom to the HD (its nto good but wont matter temporarily)
