New System Build - Hard disk not detected?

Hi everyone,
I just put together my computer and when I boot it up, everything seems to be working properly until it says "no hard disk detected". I bought a 500gb WD SATA hard drive and it seems to be spinning and powered up but the system doesn't detect it. Anyone have any ideas on whats wrong with it?

Edit: When I check the BIOS, it shows the hard drive there.
 
Have you tried using the hard drive diagnostic utilities on the Ultimate Boot CD? If not, I'd download the CD image and burn it.

I had a similar problem with a Samsung drive and it ended up being DOA.
 
are you getting that error during windows install or on the black screen during system posting?
what are your other systems specs?
