    I would try to disconnect the ide drive and boot on your sata. Shut down, then change the jumper cables to master on the ide making sure sata is the boot drive then reboot. I have had problems with cable seclect on certain hardrives.

    i had this problem so i changed my jumper settings so that my cd/dvd drive is my primary drive and my HD is the slave

    try this if not than

    change the data belt
    u get one everytime u buy a new HD

    Or

    when the comp is rebooting just press f2 and disable the floppy drive this will change some settings and windoes might reganise it
