If you've tried the drive with two different IDE cables I would suggest it  
has died.  I assume you've got the BIOS set to auto detect the drives.  If  
not try that. If you have try setting the BIOS to some other option, then  
Save & Exit. Then, return the setting to auto.  It may just have got itś  
knickers in a twist and now find the drive.

You could put the old system back together and see if it works.
