are the jumpers set CS, or are they set with master>slave?

have you installed dodgy drivers? The hook driver Insektors 3.0 had a bug which stopped your comp from recognising drives. You might have to install some of the firmware from the manufacturers site.

What's your PC's specs?

ninja one is on master and the other one is on slave.

addis i tried going to the manufactures site and they dont have any drivers.

Are you running an nForce-based board?

ninja one is on master and the other one is on slave.

addis i tried going to the manufactures site and they dont have any drivers.

Which is master, and which is slave? Is the one on the end of the IDE chain the master, or the slave? Also, have you tried reinstalling the chipset drivers?

P.S. - Triple-check that the cable is not damaged or partially unplugged!
