I just installed a new master Hard Drive (Maxtor) on my Dell desktop. It's
about 3.5 years old.

Upon entering BIOS, under Primary IDE Master, it says "NONE". It's my only
hard drive installed. It's plugged in correctly, etc.

What'g going on??
TIA!

It's set to Master. I also tried getting it to be recognized setting it to
Cable Select.

No dice :(

Any other suggestions? This is really frustrating...

Try it in another machine. The symptoms are
a dead drive, but you should confirm that in
a known good situation.
