I know this sounds stupid (slap me for sounding patronising if i do, I'm sorry), but have
you got an 80-conductor ATA66 (or ATA100) cable, rather than a 40 (or possibly 41)
conductor ATA33 (or below) cable?

Sorry again if i'm stating the obvious here, but i know all too well what it's like to not
realise the little things :+)

Hope this helps,
Mark
