Can he install windows again on that drive u gave him and before installing any drivers, bar ethernet, get to the MSI site for a more recent mobo bios and flash it to see if it helps? Winflash FTW!!!

Post #1 says 2 20gb HDDs. Make sure drive letters are not inverted for these drives.

I read the OP twice, slowly, and do not understand what the problem is, and do not understand how the others here figured it out. I'll try reading it a 3rd time . . .

Going Broke Overclocking
 
|
Did you try another cable?
Are the jumpers set properly? WD IDE need no jumper for a single HDD, but do require Master/Slave set for two drives.
