First be sure that the gray cables from the drives to the motherboard are securely attached.
Second, enter your bios setup to be sure the ide channels are ENABLED.
Last, try removing it from device manager and rebooting. You'll more than likely need the cd that came with the computer and/or motherboard to re-install the ide controller drivers.
