Has it worked before? If not, did you build it yourself? make sure pin 1 on each of the IDC ribbons is plugged into the corresponding pin 1 side of each connector on both the motherboard and device...

Check your BIOS setting see if it picks anything up? I fix computers for a living. Give me more info and I will try to help you.
