Could you explain a little more about how you couldn't install the drivers? Did you download them off the net, or what?

swap it with a known good drive, whether you have to borrow from a friend or have one laying around. if that fixes it, you have narrowed the cause to a bad drive. if not, work from that point. after that is the IDE cable and power cable. let me know once you've gone through all that and we can move ahead from there. if one of those solves it, drop a line back in this thread to let me know.
